‘Kimu-Taku’ Rice
When I first heard about ‘Kimu-Taku Rice’ which is very popular in Nagano prefecture, Japan, I thought it was related to a Japanese star Kimura Takuya aka ‘Kimu-Taku’ who is an actor and also a member of an idol group SMAP. I was very wrong. ‘Kimu-Taku’ stands for ‘Kimuchi (Kimchi) and Takuan (Japanese pickled daikon radish) and it is a fried rice dish. I never tried it in Japan, so I don’t know how close my recipe is to the authentic Nagano’s ‘Kimu-Taku Rice’ but it is certainly delicious!

Cooking Instructions

Furikake Daikon Radish Leaves Furikake Daikon Radish Leaves
I thought it was a waste to throw away the leaves of daikon radish, so I turned it into furikake.The leafy parts can taste rather green and raw, so rub well with salt and squeeze out the raw green juices.Using this recipe as a base, you can vary it by adding chirimen jako (boiled salted tiny sardines) or zha cai (a Sichuan pickle).Make a big batch and freeze for later!!
