Once it\u2019s well-drained, heat a wide pan over medium-high heat. Add the knob of butter, followed by the rice, cloves of whole garlic, ginger slices and the maitake mushrooms. Fry them for a couple of minutes until the rice is slightly browned.

Pour the broth into the cooker. The broth will consist of dashi, vegetable or chicken stock if you chose to use the maitake mushrooms in step three. However, if you use dried shiitake mushrooms, the broth will be made up of the soaking liquid and dashi.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give the pan a quick wipe or rinse, then place it back on the stove over medium-low heat. Add a little sesame oil followed by the marinated chicken skin side down. Brown the skin for a few minutes, give the chicken a quick stir in the pan and pour everything on top of the rice.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without stirring or mixing, start cooking the rice.

Blend the sliced ginger with one to two tablespoons of water until it\u2019s finely minced but not mushy. Alternatively, you can grate it. Place the minced ginger and sliced scallions into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and mix well. It\u2019s alright to go a little heavier on the salt as it will mellow down once the oil is added. Add about 2 teaspoons of chicken seasoning powder and mix well. Heat some oil over medium heat until it starts to smoke. Pour the hot oil into the bowl &#8212; it should sizzle.

Mound the strawberries in the centre of the dough, spreading them out evenly and leaving a one-inch border all around. Fold the dough over the strawberries around the edge, layering and crimping to seal. Press any cracks together as needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brush egg wash onto the dough around the edges and sprinkle the edges with sugar.
