Steps
- Cut the pork belly into small pieces with scissors. [Tip!] Cut them finely so they blend well with the takikomi gohan. A knife can also be used.
- Use the bell peppers whole, with their stems on.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over all the cut pork belly.
- Heat a frying pan with a little oil, then pan-fry the bell peppers and pork belly over high heat. [Tip!] Since fat will render from the pork, applying oil just enough for the bell peppers is sufficient. Browning them adds more aroma.
- Rinse 2 rice cups (300g) of rice, then discard the water once.
- Sauté and fry the bell peppers and pork belly until browned. Flip them occasionally to brown all sides. [Tip!] Adjust by slightly overlapping the pork belly to prevent it from becoming too crispy.
- Rinse the rice about two more times.
- Once the pork is browned, push it to the side of the pan and use the rendered pork fat to fry the bell peppers.
- Add a small amount of water to the rinsed rice and let it absorb.
- Once the pork and bell peppers are browned all over, turn off the heat.
- Put the absorbed rice into the rice cooker pot, then add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), and 1.5 tsp Chinese seasoning.
- Add water to the pot up to the 2 rice cups line. [Tip!] Since the seasonings add to the liquid volume, adjust precisely to the line.
- Place the pan-fried pork belly and whole bell peppers on top of the rice in the pot, then cook in normal mode.
- If desired, add a small amount of the remaining pork fat from the frying pan to the pot. [Tip!] Adding the fat enhances the umami and results in firmer rice. You can omit it if you prefer.
- Cut the eggplant into irregular chunks.
- Place the irregularly cut eggplant 1 (180g) into a heat-resistant container and microwave for 1.5 minutes. [Tip!] Microwaving prevents the leakage of anthocyanin (nasunin), which helps maintain the eggplant's color.
- In a pot, add 500cc water, the microwaved eggplant, 1 tsp chicken stock powder, 1 tsp kombu dashi powder, 1 pinch salt, and 5 dashes pepper, then heat.
- Add 1 tsp sesame oil for finishing.
- Taste, then serve in a bowl. It's done.
- Once cooked, mash the whole bell peppers while mixing everything together.
- Serve in a bowl. Optionally, garnish with yuzu pepper paste. [Tip!] Yuzu pepper paste is perfect for a change of flavor.
