Takikomi Gohan
Report
This Takikomi Gohan, also known as Gomoku Gohan, is a mixed vegetable and mushroom rice that's like a Japanese-style pilaf. It's plant-based, making it vegan and vegetarian friendly, but it's packed with umami thanks to the addition of a few ingredients like shiitake mushrooms, konbu cha, and sake.

Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 10 grams dried shiitake mushrooms (2 large mushrooms)
- 310 grams Japanese short-grain rice (1.5 US cups of rice or 2 rice cooker cups)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 50 grams carrots (cut into thin matchsticks)
- 50 grams maitake mushrooms (stem discarded, and caps sliced thinly)
- 50 grams burdock (cut sasagaki - see video for technique)
- 1 heet aburaage (deep fried tofu sheets, chopped)
- ¼ cup sake
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons evaporated cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon konbu cha
- mitsuba (for garnish)
Instructions
- Soak the shiitake mushrooms in 2 cups of water for at least 1 hour.
- When the mushrooms are rehydrated, squeeze any excess liquid out of them and trim off and discard the stems. Slice the caps up thinly and set the mushrooms aside and soaking liquid aside.
- Wash the rice until the water runs clear. Drain it well and add it to a deep, heavy-bottomed pot such as a Dutch oven.
- Measure 1 ¾ cups of the shiitake stock into the pot with the rice. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes.
- In a frying pan over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil, along with the shiitake, carrots, maitake, burdock, and aburaage. Stir-fry until the ingredients have halved in volume.
- Add the sake, soy sauce, sugar, and konbu cha, and continue stir-frying until most of the liquid has evaporated from the pan.
- Dump the veggie and mushroom mixture over the rice, cover the pot with a lid, and bring the pot to a boil over high heat.
- When you see steam escaping from the lid, turn down the heat to low and set a timer for 12 minutes.
- When the timer goes off, turn off the heat, and let the pot rest undisturbed for another 10 minutes to allow the rice to steam.
- When the timer is up, open the lid and fold the Takikomi Gohan together with the mushrooms and vegetables.
- Garnish with mitsuba, scallions, or sesame seeds and serve.
