Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash the cooked rice and drain. If you use dried mushrooms, wash and soak them in some water for a while (mine said 20 minutes in hot water or 1 hour in cold water). Cut the carrot in small pieces.
- 2
Put 600 ml water (if you use dried mushrooms, use the water in which you soaked them for additional flavor) in a pot. Add the dashi powder, then the carrot and the mushrooms (cut in pieces). Boil until the carrot becomes slightly soft.
- 3
Add the rice in the pot and the tofu. Keep boiling and add the 2 beaten eggs.
- 4
When the eggs are cooked, it's ready. Add a teaspoonful soy sauce (you can also add some salt if you think the taste is weak, but less salt is better!).

Takikomi Gohan (Japanese mixed mushroom rice) Takikomi Gohan (Japanese mixed mushroom rice)
Growing up, my mom made a version of takikomi gohan and it was one of my favorites. I didn't love plain white rice when I was young so any dish that jazzed it up was a winner. Traditionally, it's mixed with veggies like carrots, and some protein like seafood or meat, but I like to keep things simple. Plus I love mushrooms and when cooked, they remind me of meat so it's still satisfying! lilis.home -

Japanese-Style Daikon Radish Curry Japanese-Style Daikon Radish Curry
I have a friend who makes curry with grated daikon radish. I created my own radish daikon curry recipe based on hers.This dish tastes better if left in the pot for at least half a day so that the daikon radish completely absorbs the flavor of curry. Adjust the amount of water depending on the type of curry roux used or the cooking time.If you don't have daikon radish leaves, you can use green onions instead. Recipe by ma2003co cookpad.japan -

If you put the cheese on top it will just get hard rather than creamy. If you're using sliced cheese, break into small pieces before mixing into the egg. Recipe by Necchan cookpad.japan -
