Fission and fusion can convert mass to energy, what is the mechanism for converting energy to mass?

Has it been observed? Is it just theoretical? Is it one of those simple-but-profound things?

Regular chemical reactions also produce energy from mass. Whenever something is burning, for example, a tiny amount of its mass and the mass of oxygen it’s reacting with gets converted into energy – heat and light. Likewise, endothermic chemical reactions that consume energy convert it into a tiny amount of mass.
