Kayaku Gohan - Rice with Chicken and Vegetables
Kayaku gohan is a very simple Japanese rice dish packed with chicken and vegetables that are sure to become an instant favorite. If you have ever tried a kamameshi in Japanese restaurant before, this is basically the same dish minus the pretty looking kama (the kettle pot). ♥

Wow! This looks simple and great. But when you listed soya sauce is that dark soya sauce or light soya sauce?
I usually use Japanese dark soy sauce for this :)
Hi Anita, Why do we need Konnyaku for this recipe and Takikomi Gohan? Isn't it like transparent jelly? Tks, Michelle
Actually, we don't. Or more precisely, you can throw in any vegetable (which of course include any mushroom) of your choice, and konnyaku is just one of such choices. And I might be wrong, but maybe you are confusing dessert konnyaku made of jelly powder vs. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konjac" title="Konjac" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Japanese konnyaku</a> made from yam starch basically. The recipe uses the later one. Cheers!
