Making the rice:

2. After mushrooms get cooked, add in shallots and sauté until translucent.

3. Boil the Kombu in the water to infuse it.

4. Add in the washed rice, and pour the Kombu-infused water and soy sauce and salt.

5. Bring it to a boil and cover, continue cooking over a low flame till all of the liquid has evaporated. This should take around 15 minutes.

Making the Donburi sauce:

1. Add all the ingredients into a pot and simmer on a low flame until combined. Cool it and your sauce is ready.

Making the mushroom topping:

1. Heat up the frying pan till it gets very hot, add in olive oil and half of the mushrooms.

2. Sauté the mushrooms until they get a golden colour and are cooked, add in butter and deglaze with Donburi sauce.

3. Pour the cooked mushrooms over the prepared mushroom rice in the clay pot, and place the pot over the stove on a low flame.

4. Take the rest of the mushrooms and coat in the tempura batter, and deep fry until crispy.

5. Place the fried mushrooms on top of the cooked rice and sautéed mushroom and garnish with spring onions before serving.
