kuze foods

Was looking for chestnut takikomi mix at the market but they only had the kind with chestnuts from China in it, so I purchased this sweet potato rice mix instead because the sweet potatoes are from Japan.

I didn't realize how long it took for takikomi gohan (rice cooked with dashi) to cook in the rice cooker on takikomi gohan mode...1 hour 10 minutes!

This particular mix doesn't use any added water, just the dashi (stock).

Since this mix is for 2 cups of rice, I mixed 1 cup white with 1 cup brown

It is delicious, I would buy this mix again.

My mom used to make a chagai with sweet potato when we were kids. I used to like it and think about it once in awhile.

Take care you two.
