The combination of ‘Kimchi’ and ‘Takuan’ (Japanese Pickled Daikon) is very popular. ‘Kimu-Taku’ Rice is an example that you can cook with them. Today I made this ‘Mazegohan’ using a can of Mackerel. ‘Mazegohan’ is a Japanese dish of Rice. Rice and other ingredients are cooked separately and mixed together after they are cooked. However, you don’t need to cook anything to make this dish if you have already cooked Rice. Just mix everything together. This messy looking dish is actually really yummy.

Sophia, thank you for trying it. I am glad you liked it. I love all the ingredients of this dish and I often eat them together. If they are mixed, can’t be bad.

Hi 🙂 I’m wondering is toasted Nori the sheets you use for sushi or is it a different product? Thank you 💞

Hi Sophia. Thank you for asking me the question. Sushi Nori is often sold as toasted. When Nori is toasted, it turns slightly greenish colour and very aromatic. I often toast it by myself even tough it is already toasted. Just hold Nori over flames or cooktop element, and you will see the colour changes and it smells really good.
