konnichiwa it's Nami from just one cookbook back with another video for you
and today I'm sharing a recipe for japanese mixed rice or takikomi gohan in japanese
we will use the instant pot to cook the ingredients and rice together
my recommendation is to include root vegetables like
carrot, gobo, burdock root and lotus root for the earthy taste and texture
now let's get started
wash 2 rice measuring cups rice in a large bowl and soak for 20 minutes
soak 2 dried shiitake mushrooms in a 1/4 cup of water for 15 minutes
cut one chicken thigh into slanted, smaller bite-sized pieces.
add 1/2 tbsp sake to remove any unwanted smell from the chicken
peel 1.8 oz gobo skin with the back of a knife
cut the gobo in half lengthwise and thinly slice each half diagonally
soak the gobo in water to prevent it from turning brown
cut 1.8 oz carrot in half lengthwise and thinly slice diagonally
measure 1/3 cup each of carrot and gobo
pour hot water over one aburaage to get rid of the excess oil
cut the tofu pouch into thin slices and squeeze water out
measure 1/3 cup aburaage
thinly slice the hydrated mushrooms
strain 2 tbsp shiitake dashi
add 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, and 1/2 tsp salt
add 1 1/2 cups dashi so that the seasoning is 360 ml
in a large bowl, add chicken, shiitake mushrooms, carrot, gobo, aburaage
add the seasoning from the previous step to the bowl and mix well
transfer drained rice and make sure the rice is evenly distributed and flat
add the ingredients and seasoning liquid on top of the rice
DO NOT MIX rice and the ingredients
close the lid and click MANUAL and set HIGH pressure for 2 minutes
let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes
fluff the rice with a rice scooper immediately to avoid burning the rice on the bottom
cut 3 mitsuba into small pieces
serve takikomi gohan in individual bowls and garnish with mitsuba
