User:Shy63/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 the 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.
History
[edit]Takikomi Gohan was created during the Nara period.[5] During this period, Japanese people had a hard time harvesting rice to meet their demands. Thus, they mixed rice with millet to increase the amount of portions. It is called Awameshi. At the same time, people created the root of Takikomi Gohan. It is called Katemeshi. They mixed rice with millets and a variety of vegetables including weeds, yam and Japanese radish in order to survive a shortage of rice. This dish used to be a survival meal during World War II. During the Muromachi period, Katemeshi became popular in Japan, thus Japanese people made a similar dish to Katemeshi. It is called Kawarimeshi. Kawarimeshi uses the same ideas as Katemeshi to create the dish. However, the difference between them is that Kawarimeshi uses quality ingredients such as barley, beans, and vegetables. Over time people became creative and made a variety of dishes that were based on Kawarimeshi, and they used seasonal ingredients to maximize the umami taste in the dish.
Difference from maze gohan
[edit]The process of making Takikomi Gohan is usually adding all the ingredients such as rice, broth, soy sauce, vegetables and a protein source into a rice maker at once, on the other hand, Maze gohan mixes ingredients such as vegetables and a protein source with cooked rice.[6]
