‘Takikomigohan’ is a Japanese dish of Rice that is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings. It is commonly seasoned with Dashi and Soy Sauce. It is my absolute favourite Japanese dish and I often crave it. Today I used Prawns. I thought some Oil will be definitely needed, so I added Sesame Oil. The result was so good and now I am writing down how I made it.
