Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Rice 2 cups (approx. 300g)
  • Mochi (Rice Cake) 1 piece
  • Chicken Thigh 1/2 piece
  • Carrot 1/3 (approx. 50g)
  • Burdock Root 1/4 (approx. 50g)
  • Shiitake Mushrooms 2 pieces
  • Fried Tofu Pouch 1/2 piece

Seasonings

  • [A] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tsp
  • [B] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • [B] Soy Sauce 2.5 tbsp
  • [B] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2.5 tbsp

Steps

  1. Cut 1/2 chicken thigh into 2cm cubes. Gently pound with a meat tenderizer to soften.
  2. Cut 1 piece of mochi in half, then thinly slice it. Slice thinly so it mixes well with the rice.
  3. Add 2 cups of rice, washed and drained, to the inner pot of your rice cooker.
  4. Add water to slightly below the 2-cup line on your rice cooker. [Key Tip!] Using less water will result in a chewier texture as it combines with the moisture from the ingredients.
  5. Cook using your rice cooker.
