Abura-age & Carrot Takikomi Gohan

This is one of the traditionally popular ‘Takikomigohan’ dishes in Japan, but I didn't cooked it for a long time. Because it was too hard to find 'Abura-age' (Fried Thin Tofu) in Australia. But not any more! If you like traditional Japanese cuisine’s delicate flavour, you will enjoy this dish.

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 servings

2 cups

(*180ml cup) Japanese Short Grain Rice

Abura-age (Fried Thin Tofu)

small Carrot

400 ml

Dashi Stock *OR Water and 1 teaspoon Dashi Powder

1/2 teaspoon

Salt

1 tablespoons

Soy Sauce

1 tablespoon

Sake (Rice Wine)

Spring Onion *finely chopped

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wrap Abura-age with paper towel and warm in the microwave. Then press it to remove excess oil if required. This process is optional.

* Step 2

Cut Abura-age and Carrot into small pieces. Today I cut Carrot into strips using a vegetable slicer.

* Step 3

Wash Rice by stirring it thoroughly in water with your hand and drain the water. Repeat this a few more times until water flows through clear.

* Step 4

Place it into the rice cooker’s inner pot and add Dashi Stock, Salt, Soy Sauce and Sake (Rice Wine). Add extra Water, if necessary, to make up to the 2-cups-marking. Gently stir.

* Step 5

Place Abura-age and Carrot pieces over the rice evenly. Press ‘COOK’ button to start cooking. When the rice is cooked, let it steamed for 10 minutes. Then loosen and mix gently.
