How to Make Instant Pot Takikomi Gohan (Recipe)  炊き込みご飯の作り方 (圧力鍋)

dashi

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + soy sauce

Vegetable broth offers a lighter option while maintaining flavor.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine + sugar

Rice vinegar adds acidity without the sweetness of mirin.

chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned mushrooms

Tofu provides protein while being more affordable.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces salt intake.

Hydrate dried shiitake mushrooms in ¼ cup water.

Marinate chicken thigh with ½ Tbsp sake.

Slice gobo and carrot into thin pieces.

Prepare aburaage and mitsuba for garnish.

In the Instant Pot, combine dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and salt.

Add the hydrated shiitake mushrooms, marinated chicken, gobo, and carrot to the pot.

Close the lid and set to pressure cook for 25 minutes.

Once done, release the pressure and serve garnished with mitsuba.
