Top 5 dishes made from Dashi Powder *I used Kombu (Kelp) Dashi Powder
1 . Canned Sardines & Shimeji Takikomi Gohan
Canned Sardines & Shimeji Takikomi Gohan
This rice dish is extremely easy to make if you have a rice cooker. Place all ingredients, except for Edamame Beans, in the rice cooker’s inner pot and press the button to start. I used only 1 can (120g) Sardines in Olive Oil. If you want to add more Sardines, you need to alter the amount of Water and Soy Sauce.
Ingredient
150 g
Shimeji
1/2 teaspoon
Dashi Powder *I used Kombu (Kelp) Dashi Powder
1 tablespoon
Mirin
2 tablespoons
Soy Sauce
1 can (120 g)
Sardines in Olive Oil
1/2 cup
Edamame Beans *thawed if frozen
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Wash Rice, drain, and place in the rice cooker’s inner pot. Add Water up to the 2-cups marking, add Dashi Powder.
* Step 2
Cut off the bottom of Shimeji, tear into smaller pieces, and spread evenly. Sprinkle with Soy Sauce and Mirin. Empty the can of Sardine into the pot, that means you add all the oil and liquid in the can as well.
* Step 3
*Note: If you use a larger size can of Sardines with more liquid, reduce the amount of Soy Sauce slightly as the liquid in the can is quite salty. If you use a can of Sardines in Brine, I recommend to drain the Brine and add 1 tablespoon Oil.
* Step 4
Press ‘COOK’ button to start cooking.
* Step 5
When the rice is cooked, scatter Edamame Beans, let steamed for 10 minutes.
* Step 6
Gently mix to combine. Sprinkle some finely chopped Spring Onion and Toasted Sesame Seeds, and enjoy. *Note: I added Crispy Chilli Oil as well, but it is optional.

There is a very popular leafy vegetable called ‘Komatsuna’ in Japan. It’s impossible to find it in Melbourne where I live. However, there is a substitute. An Asian vegetable called Choy Sum is very similar to ‘Komatsuna’. This is a very popular stir-fry dish of ‘Komatsuna’, but I used Choy Sum.

5 . Soy Bean Takikomi Gohan
Soy Bean Takikomi Gohan
There are some different methods to make ‘Soy Bean Takikomi Gohan’. You would find the recipes that say you can cook with Uncooked Soy Beans. That’s true, buy Soy Beans would be VERY CRUNCHY if you cook Uncooked Soy Beans and Rice together. I recommend to pre-cook the soaked Soy Beans. Soy Beans would be still crunchy but the crunchiness would be enjoyable if you pre-cook them.
Ingredient
1/2 cup
Dried Soy Beans
1/2 teaspoon
Salt
450 ml
Water
1 tablespoon
Sake (Rice Wine)
1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Rinse Dried Soy Beans, place in a saucepan, cover with plenty of cold water, add 1/2 teaspoon Salt, and soak overnight.
* Step 2
Cook the soaked Dried Soy Beans in the saucepan for 20 to 30 minutes. This can be done in advance.
* Step 3
Wash Rice and place it in the rice cooker’s inner pot. Drain the Cooked Soy Beans, place over the Rice, add 450ml Water, Dashi Powder, Salt and Sake (Rice Wine), but do not stir.
* Step 4
Cut ‘Abura-age’ into small pieces, scatter over the Rice evenly, sprinkle with Soy Sauce, and start cooking.
* Step 5
When the Rice is cooked, let it steamed for 10 minutes. Then loosen and mix gently.
* Step 6
Sprinkle with some finely chopped Spring Onion OR Toasted Sesame Seeds (OR both), and enjoy.
