Cook 2 cups of rice according to package instructions and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 2 large onions, sliced, and sauté for 10 minutes until they begin to caramelize.
Add 400 grams of sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the onions. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
In a small bowl, mix 0.25 cup of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of mirin, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of sake if desired. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the mushrooms and onions. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened.
Spread 200 grams of shredded gouda cheese evenly over the mushrooms and onions in the skillet. Cover and let the cheese melt, about 3 minutes.
Serve the mushroom and onion mixture over bowls of cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
