Clam Takikomi Gohan

‘Takikomi Gohan’ is a Japanese dish of Rice that is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings. There are some very traditional ones and this is one of them. To cook a ‘Takikomi Gohan’, everything is supposed to be cooked together, but you won’t cook Clams with Rice together for this particular dish. You cook Calms in a frying pan first. You will have some delicious liquid from Clams and you use it to cook Rice. Clam meat will be mixed with Rice after it is cooked. It’s a very simple dish, yet absolutely delicious.
