Ingredients

  • 2 cups Japanese rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 small potato, diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup diced chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine)
  • 1 tbsp sake (Japanese rice wine)

Directions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This step helps remove excess starch from the rice.

  2. In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, carrot, potato, peas, and chicken. Mix everything together gently.

  3. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, and sake. Pour this mixture over the rice and vegetables in the pot.

  4. Cover the pot with a lid and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time!

  5. After 20 minutes, turn off the heat and let the pot sit, covered, for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  6. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious and healthy Takikomi Gohan!
