Bosot Bap 버섯밥 (Korean Mix Mushroom rice with sauce)

Mushroom here always sell in a pack of 3 with different types of mushroom and it's cheaper compare with buying individually each.  I always struggle what to cook so that I can finish all the mushrooms and my husband told me there is a Korean dish called Beosot Bap (Mix mushroom rice) where you put in different kind of mushrooms with rice and cook.  The best part is this dish can be done in rice cooker! Yay, time saving one pot dish...hehe ^^

Ingredients:
2 cups Mix fresh mushroom (I use fresh shitake mushroom and shimeji mushroom)
1 & 1/2 cup Short grain rice

1. Wash and rinse rice.  Add in kelp, water and mushroom.
2. Cook the mushroom rice in rice cooker.
3. While the rice is cooking.  Prepare a pan, add in oil and minced meat (pork/beef), stir over medium high heat.
4. When the meat turn half cooked, add in minced garlic.  Keep stiring.
5. When the meat is cooked, add in soy sauce, sugar, gochugaru and water.  Keep stiring on medium low heat.
6. Off the heat, add in chopped spring onion, green and red chili.
7. Drizzle sesame oil and slightly mix in.
8. When the rice is cooked, take out the kelp, scoop out the mushroom rice.  Add the meat sauce and start bibim (mix).  The mushroom and the meat sauce blends really well and it's yummy!

*Tip:  This can be a vegetarian dish if omit the meat in preparing the sauce.  No cooking is needed in preparing the vegetarian sauce.  Just mix all the sauce ingredients together :)
