Steps
1. First, you need time to soak the rice, so wash the rice, add the cooking water, and let it soak for about 1 hour.
The basic ratio of rice to water is rice (1) to water (1.2), meaning 1 cup of rice takes 1 1/4 cups of water.
In summer, soak for about 30 minutes... you should adjust the soaking time and water amount depending on how old the rice is.
Also, when cooking rice with ingredients high in moisture, reduce the water slightly compared to usual.
Normally I cook rice in an electric rice cooker, but today I washed the rice in an earthen pot and added the cooking water.
2. Prepare the ingredients while the rice is soaking.
I bought angelica tree shoots at the market, choosing ones that were slightly plump and not too long.
3. They weigh 50 g and count 7 shoots.
The count will vary depending on the thickness and length of the shoots.
Split the thick stem end so it cooks evenly, and slice into bite-sized lengths.
4. Feeling it would be a bit plain with only angelica tree shoots, I prepared small king oyster mushrooms equal to half the amount of the shoots and sliced them, then finely chopped pre-cleaned abalone (about 1/2 cup) from last time.
Clam meat or mussels work great too; just prepare whatever you have in your fridge.
5. Mix all the seasoning sauce ingredients together except for the toasted sesame oil.
You can add the toasted sesame oil at the end when mixing the rice.
6. Once the rice is adequately soaked, place it over high heat and wait until it comes to a bubbling boil.
Once it starts bubbling and boiling, lower the heat to low.
As it boils, the water may bubble over, so set the lid half-ajar while cooking, and stir occasionally with a spoon to keep it from scorching at the bottom.
When the bubbling water subsides and you hear a crackling sound, move on to the steaming stage.
For steaming, reduce the heat to very low and cover with the lid.
7. At this point, before putting the lid on, add the prepared angelica tree shoots and the rest of the ingredients, then cover and steam for about 5 minutes; if you want more scorched rice crust at the bottom, just steam it longer.
8. Once the rice is done, gently mix everything together evenly with a rice paddle.
It is half rice and half other ingredients.
I personally prefer having more toppings than rice.

FAQ
Do you add the angelica tree shoots from the beginning when starting the rice?
Do not add them at the start. Place them on top right before the final steaming step once the water has subsided, and let them steam for about 5 minutes.
Can I use other seafood instead of abalone?
Yes, you can easily use whatever seafood you have in your fridge according to your preference, such as clam meat or mussels.
Can I make this in an electric rice cooker instead of an earthen pot? AI-generated
You can cook it in a standard electric rice cooker as well. Adding the angelica tree shoots right before cooking finishes or during the keep-warm steaming phase helps preserve their aroma best.
