‘Takikomi Gohan’ is a Japanese dish of Rice that is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings. I have used a variety of Canned Fish to cook ‘Takikomi Gohan’, but never used Kippers. So, I tried. I concerned about the smoky flavour of Kippers, but it was fine. This is another yummy ‘Takikomi Gohan’ that you can cook with just 1 can of Kippers. Shimeji can be replaced with other Asian Mushrooms.
