This is another ‘Takikomigohan’ dish that can be cooked using a canned fish. This time I used a Canned Red Salmon. I wanted to add some Hijiki, but Hijiki is quite hard to find where I live. So, I added Dried Chopped Wakame as they are, without rehydrating it. Wow… I was amazed at how easy it was to prepare and the great result.

  3. Remove unwanted large bones and skin from Salmon, break into chunky pieces, place on the rice. Sprinkle Dried Chopped Wakame over the rice. *Note: Break into smaller pieces if the Wakame pieces are large.
