Seasoned Daikon Rice: Perfect For Any Season! | Takikomi Gohan

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.

Put rice in a medium sized pot.

Rinse the rice and soak for 30 minutes or more.

Cut daikon and carrot into small pieces.

Cut the aburaage into thin strips.

Drain the water from the rice, add 360 milliliters of fresh water, and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Add dashi powder, mirin, soy sauce, sake, and salt, and stir with a rice paddle.

Place the cut ingredients on the rice, put the lid on and cook over low heat for 12 minutes.

Turn off the heat and leave it for another 10 minutes, with the lid on.

Open the lid and gently stir from the bottom.

Serve the rice in a bowl and add your favorite side dishes to make a complete Japanese meal.
