‘Takikomigohan’, a Japanese dish of Rice, is something I truly enjoy cooking and eating. It is absolutely easy to cook if you have a rice cooker, as the Rice is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings. It was a life saver for me when I was a busy parent. Today I cooked it with Pork and added Chinese Five Spice. And the result was fantastic, so I want to share how I cooked it.
