1

Prepare the rice by rinsing and soaking it for about 30 minutes.

2

In a pot, combine the rice, slightly less water than the rice amount, mackerel, maitake mushrooms, dashi granules, soy sauce, and butter. Cook until the rice is done.

For the nameko tofu, heat oil in a pan, add ground chicken and cook until browned. Add nameko mushrooms and tofu, and season with mentsuyu. Cook until heated through and slightly thickened.

4

For the chashu don, sauté pork belly slices in a pan until browned. Add fu, potato starch, sake, mirin, sugar, and soy sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.

5

For the tofu chijimi, mix silken tofu, garlic chives, all-purpose flour, and potato starch in a bowl. Heat sesame oil in a pan and pour the mixture to form pancakes. Cook until golden brown on both sides.

6

Prepare the dipping sauce by mixing soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili pepper, and chili oil.
