Newly harvested Onions are juicy and sweet. This simple recipe is to enjoy those Onions, but, of course, you can cook this dish with not-so-new Onions. This is a ‘Takikomigohan’, a Japanese dish of Rice that is cooked with all other ingredients and seasonings. Using a ricer cooker, ‘Takikomigohan’ is super easy to cook. This rice dish and a refreshing salad would make a perfect meal.
