Inspired by a local satellite TV show, hubby steamed rice, chopped chicken, mirin, dashi, sliced dehydrated Shitake mushrooms, and soy sauce in a rice cooker and garnished the dish with chopped fresh scallions; added a side plate of reheated frozen leftover Obon goodies – kamaboko, pork, tempura, tofu, etc.; and completed the meal with an instant suimono soup.
