Step 1
Rinse rice under cold water, stirring with your hand, until water runs mostly clear, ~1 minute.
Step 2
Add rice, mushrooms, carrot, soy sauce, sake, and water to a medium pot with a lid.
Step 3
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, uncovered, ~3 minutes.
Step 4
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 18 minutes without lifting the lid.

Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes. Steam will finish cooking the rice.
