Ingredients

• 3  cups water
• 6  dried shiitake mushrooms
• 2  cans (14.5-oz.) low-sodium chicken broth
• 2  bags (2-cup size) boil-in-bag rice, Uncle Ben's
• 2  chopped green onions
• 2  teaspoons light soy sauce, Kikkoman

Directions

1. In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan, combine water and shiitakes; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let soak for 20 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove shiitakes from water and set aside. Add chicken broth to the shiitake-water and bring to a boil. Immerse bags of rice in broth; boil, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

2. While rice is boiling, slice shiitakes. When rice is done, carefully remove bags from pot. Cut open bags and pour rice into a medium mixing bowl. Add sliced shiitakes, green onions, and soy sauce. Toss to combine. Makes 4 servings.
