How To Make Takikomi Gohan (Japanese Pilaf)

Takikomi Gohan (炊き込みご飯) literally means "cooked with rice" in Japanese and refers to a class of rice dishes made by cooking various ingredients with rice. This particular one is also known as Gomoku Gohan (五目ご飯) and includes a mix of mushrooms and vegetables cooked with the rice like a Japanese-style pilaf. There's no chicken or dashi in this Takikomi Gohan, which makes it vegan and vegetarian friendly, but it's still loaded with flavor thanks to the dried shiitake broth and konbu cha (kelp stock) the rice is cooked with. I show you how to make this Japanese mixed rice on the stovetop, but this can also easily be made in a rice cooker. JAPANESE INGREDIENT PACKAGE ▶ https://kokorocares.com/collections/c...
