Sweet Garleek & Edamame Rice

Sweet Garleek is a new hybrid vegetable made by Row 7 Seed Company, and I have been loving it so much, I grill, sauté, oven roast them, etc. This time, I made a donabe rice dish with it and the result was simply fantastic! If you can’t find garleek, simply substitute it with leek (but use just the tender bottom part only) and you can enjoy the same tender sweet result.


Mixed Mushroom and Hijiki Rice

Kinoko to Hijiki no Takikomi Gohan

This is one of my regular donabe rice dishes. Mixed mushrooms, hijiki, and edamame – I love the combination of these flavors when they are mixed with rice. I use kombu and shiitake mushroom dashi, so this is a vegan dish but feel free to use your choice of dashi, stock or even just water. The dish come out aromatic and so satisfying every time.


Tuna Poke Rice Bowl

Poke Don

As I have been to Hawaii almost 50 times since I was a teenager and I’ve been loving their local seafood dishes, I am a self-claimed poke expert (haha). My favorite style of poke is quite simple…it’s all about high quality tuna, soy sauce, sesame oil, and wasabi. When I serve it as an appetizer, I encourage my guests to enjoy on its own or make a wrap with lettuce and nori. To make a meal out of poke, I make this poke don (poke rice bowl). With the sushi rice made in double-lid donabe rice cooker, Kamado-san, this simple dish becomes such a decadent sushi dish you can create at home.
