Oysters Takikomi Gohan

In Japan, shucked Oysters are sold in plastic containers in the same way as meat are sold. They are often quite large and not particularly expensive. Here in Melbourne, Oysters are fancy food. Shucked Oysters are always sold on the half-shell and they are often rather small and quite expensive. This is very disappointing because I like cooked Oysters and I don’t need the shells, but I have to buy them with the shells which will go to the bin straight away. And I can't cook this dish often. However, if you like cooked Oysters, this is a recipe you got to try.

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 servings

2 cups

(*180ml cup) Japanese Short Grain Rice

1 cup

Dashi Stock *OR 1 cup Water and 1/4 teaspoon Dashi Powder

1 tablespoon

Sake (Rice Wine)

1 tablespoon

Mirin

& 1/2 tablespoons Soy Sauce

small piece Ginger *sliced into fine strips

150-200 g

Oysters *cleaned in salted water

Spring Onion *finely chopped

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Remove Oysters from the shell and wash in salty water, then drain.

* Step 2

Heat Dashi Stock in a saucepan, add Sake (Rice Wine), Mirin, Soy Sauce and Ginger, and bring to the boil. Add the cleaned Oysters into the boiling soup and cook for 1-3 minutes or until cooked. Leave aside to cool slightly.

* 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. Drain the rice and place it into the rice cooker’s inner pot.

* Step 4

Transfer the cooked Oysters to a bowl as they are not to be cooked with rice. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside. Add 1/2 cup cold water to the soup, and pour the soup, with the ginger, over the rice up to the 2-cups-marking on the pot. If soup was not enough, add water to make it to the marking. *Note: Avoid the settlings in the soup, such as sands.
