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.
does this package need to be refrigerated?
ReplyDeleteMy 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.

ooh chagai, my grandma used to make too. This package doesn't need to be refrigerated, V!

Whoa, 1 hour 10 minutes Kat! When I made Gomoku Takikomi Gohan in my old school push button rice cooker, I just had to let it sit for 20 minutes after the regular cooking cycle.
ReplyDeleteHow convenient to have a takikomi gohan mode.
ReplyDeleteinteresting Kirk :)
ReplyDeleteI hear there are some rice cookers that have a bake mode, Jalna :)
Take care you two.
