Takikomi gohan
Takikomi gohan (炊き込みご飯, 炊き込み御飯) is a Japanese rice dish seasoned with dashi and soy sauce along with mushrooms, vegetables, meat, or fish. The ingredients of takikomi gohan are cooked with the rice; in a similar preparation, maze gohan (混ぜ御飯), flavorful ingredients are mixed into cooked rice.[1] In the kansai region, Takikomi gohan is called Kayaku gohan, and in Okinawa, it is called Jucy.[2] This dish is consumed by people in Japan around the fall season since a lot of root vegetables and mushrooms are harvested during this season in Japan.[3] Ingredients will vary based on the seasonal vegetables and fish. Since this dish covers a lot of nutritional facts, and substitutes a partial amount of rice from a serving size with vegetables and proteins, thus some Japanese people eat it for dieting purposes.[4] One of the reasons why this dish is very popular in Japan is because it is easy to make and does not require a lot of equipment to prepare.
