konnichiwa it's Nami from just one cookbook
I'm collaborating with kikkoman to create gluten-free recipes
using their gluten-free soy sauce
today I will show you how to make japanese mix rice, takikomi gohan
takikomi goha is a really easy to make and you can customize this recipe
with ingredients you already have or use seasonal ingredients
today I've added chicken but if you like, you can make it vegetarian without using chicken
if you are looking for gluten-free recipes, I have a playlist on that up here
and I'll put the link in the video description below

alright let's get started
prepare 2 rice cup japanese short-grain rice (1 1/2 cup / 360 ml) in a large bowl
gently wash the rice in a circular motion and discard the water
repeat this process about 3-4 times
let the rice soak in water for 30-60 minutes
soak 3 dried shiitake mushrooms in a ½ cup of water for 15 minutes
bring 2 cups of water to boil
put ⅓ konnyaku and cook for 1 minute to get rid of the smell then transfer the konnyaku to a plate to cool
add the aburaage to the same pot of water and cook for 1 minute
transfer aburaage to a plate to cool and discard the water
shave off 4 inch gobo skin with the back of the knife
then make a “cross” slit on tip of the gobo
shave from that end as if you were sharpening a pencil with a knife while constantly rotating with the other hand
soak in the water to prevent from changing color
transfer the rice into a sieve and drain completely for at least 15 minutes
cut 3 inch carrot in half lengthwise and cut diagonally into thin slices
then cut the slices into julienned or smaller pieces
cut the aburaage into thin small strips
cut the konnyaku into thin small strips
squeeze the liquid from dried shiitake mushrooms and save the liquid
strain the shiitake dashi into a bowl through a fine mesh strainer to get rid of dirty particles
remove the stem and cut the caps into thinly slices
cut one skinless boneless chicken thigh into 3/4 inch (2 cm) slanted pieces
in a measuring cup, add all the shiitake dashi and then pour dashi so you’ll have 1 ½ cup (360 ml) of liquid
add rice in the rice cooker and add 1 ½ Tbsp mirin and 1 ½ Tbsp soy sauce
pour the dashi & shiitake dashi mixture into the rice and mix well
add the chicken and evenly distribute over the rice Do NOT mix the rice with ingredients
add from the hard ingredients to softer ingredients on top of the chicken
set rice cooker to mixed rice mode
once the rice is done cooking, gently mix the rice with vegetables
serve the rice hot or at room temperature
sprinkle chopped mitsuba or green onion on top
itadaki masu!
