Ingredients

Main Ingredients (3-4 servings)

  • Chicken thigh 200g
  • Carrot 1/4 (40g)
  • Burdock root 1/2 (50g)
  • Rice 2 go (approx. 300g)
  • Daikon radish 200g (approx. 1/6 of a large radish)
  • Firm konjac jelly 1 block (200g, small size)
  • Chikuwa (fish cake) 3 sticks

Seasonings

  • [A] All-Purpose Sauce 1 tsp
  • [B] All-Purpose Sauce 3 tbsp
  • [C] All-Purpose Sauce 2 tbsp
  • Vegetable oil 1 tbsp

Steps

  1. Finely chop 200g of chicken thigh into pieces about 5mm to 1cm square.
  2. Marinate the chopped chicken thigh with 1 tsp of All-Purpose Sauce and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Peel 1/4 carrot (40g) and slice it into ginkgo leaf shapes about 2cm in size.
  4. Scrape off the skin of 1/2 burdock root (50g) with the back of a knife and cut it diagonally into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Soak the diagonally cut burdock root in vinegared water for about 5 minutes.
  6. In the rice cooker pot, add 2 cups of rinsed rice, 3 tbsp of All-Purpose Sauce, and water up to the 2-cup line (approx. 340ml).
  7. Gently mix everything and flatten the rice. Then, place the burdock root (drained from vinegared water), carrot, and marinated chicken on top.
  8. Once all ingredients are in the pot, cook using the regular white rice setting.
  9. After cooking, mix everything well. (Key Tip!) If the flavor seems weak, adjust with a small amount of salt.
  10. Peel 200g of daikon radish and slice it into ginkgo leaf shapes about 5mm thick.
  11. Make a diagonal cut on 3 sticks of chikuwa and divide each into 4 pieces.
  12. Tear 1 block (200g) of firm konjac jelly into bite-sized pieces using a spoon or your fingers.
  13. Blanch the torn konjac jelly in a pot for 1 to 2 minutes. After blanching, drain it in a colander.
  14. Add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil and the sliced daikon radish to a frying pan and sauté.
  15. Once the edges of the daikon radish become translucent, add the chikuwa and konjac jelly, and stir-fry briefly.
  16. Add 200ml of water and 2 tbsp of All-Purpose Sauce, and bring to a boil over high heat.
  17. Once the liquid boils, reduce heat to medium, cover with aluminum foil or a lid, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  18. After 10 minutes, remove the lid and continue to cook, reducing the remaining liquid until it thickens. (Key Tip!) Be careful not to burn the ingredients as the liquid evaporates.
  19. Once the liquid has reduced and the ingredients have a glossy sheen, it's ready.
  20. Plate and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
