English Peas & Hijiki Mochi Mugi Rice

Mame Hijiki Gohan

I can’t get enough of fresh English peas in the spring time. Here’s a slightly different version (and I would say even easier version) of my original English Peas and Hijiki Rice recipe, and this is equally delicious! Instead of using dashi stock, I add a content of a Vegetable Dashi packet directly to the water. The result is really umami rich and aromatic rice. Mochi Mugi barley adds nice texture and flavor, too. If you can’t find shelled fresh English peas, you can use frozen kind by thawing them before adding to the donabe.

Corn & Hijiki Rice with Olive Oil

This donabe dish is a variation of my other corn rice recipes and has been a big hit! This is 100% vegan and its flavor is really rich with corn, and fresh and aromatic with the addition of the extra virgin olive oil and mixed herbs. This dish makes a great one plate meal and tastes great at a warm or room temperature. Happy Donabe Life!

English Peas and Hijiki Quinoa

This is a variation of my donabe rice recipe, English Peas and Hijiki Rice. Instead of rice, I am useing quinoa and mochi mugi barley and cook in vegetable stock in a donabe .To finish, I season simply with salt and pepper, and drizzle good amount of extra virgin olive oil! Feel free to elevate the dish with addition of different herbs or seasonings, if you like. You can serve it on its own or this can also makes a wonderful side dish served with grilled fish, vegetables, etc. I used Bistro Donabe for this dish, but any donabe with enough depth can work for this recipe. Happy Donabe Life!

Ginger Hijiki Beef Rice

Gyu Soboro Gohan

This dish has a nice bold flavor of soy-flavored beef and ginger. Hijiki adds another layer of flavor and balance. This dish is always a hit at dinner parties. You can use a generous amount of ginger and won’t be disappointed. The oyster sauce makes the dish extra complex, but if you don’t have it, you can simply substitute it with extra 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce. I enjoy serving this dish with simple stir-fry vegetables (such as bok choy or broccoli).

Smokey Shoyu Corn Hijiki Rice

This rice dish has been a big hit throughout this summer, and I made it many times. As long as you have nice sweet fresh corn, this dish can almost never fail. Corn and hijiki seaweed go so well together (I also like to make a salad dish featuring these two ingredients), and they blend in with the rice nicely.

The butter and Smoked Soy Sauce are added after the rice is made, so they keep the really fresh flavors. The aroma is quite irresistible. If you don’t have the Smoked Soy Sauce, you can use a regular soy sauce for a non-smokey version.

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.

English Peas and Hijiki Rice

Ao-Mame Hijiki Gohan

During the spring time when the English peas are in season, I make this dish often. The shelled fresh peas are added to the donabe after turning off the heat and cooked only with the carryover heat. When the dish is ready, the peas are nicely cooked through while they bring the beautiful fresh sweet aroma and retain the beautiful color and texture. This dish is also great for onigiri (rice balls) to take to picnic, as it tastes delicious at a room temperature, too.
