Chicken rice and shiitake no nimono

Chicken rice (Midnight Diner s05e01) – https://www.justonecookbook.com/chicken-fried-rice/

This is really just omurice without the omu-. I was feeling pretty basic and just wanted something comforting, and this did the job.

Shiitake no nimono (simmered shiitake) – I don't follow any particular recipe for this, but it's easy. Rehydrate and slice some dried shiitake. Squeeze out as much water as you can. Simmer in dashi with sugar, mirin, shoyu, and sake. Cook until the mushrooms have absorbed as much liquid as they can, and the remaining broth has gotten a little glaze-like. Serve hot, room-temp, or chilled. Delicious!
