Introduction
This exquisite mixed rice is easy to make by stir-frying sweet and savory pork belly, burdock root, and carrots, then mixing them into cooked rice. Adding oyster sauce provides depth and richness, ensuring the savory flavors of the ingredients soak thoroughly into the rice.
Step 1
Lightly scrape the skin of the burdock root with the back of a knife and wash it. Shave into thin strips (cut any remaining small pieces into slices or halves), soak in water for about 5 minutes to remove bitterness, then drain and pat dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
Step 2
Peel the carrot, slice thinly, and then julienne.
Step 3
Cut the thinly sliced pork belly into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3cm wide) and loosen them slightly with your hands.
Step 4
Heat the sesame oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add the pork, and stir-fry while loosening with chopsticks.
Step 5
Once the pork is separated, add the burdock root and carrots and stir-fry together.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Scraping off too much of the burdock root skin reduces its flavor, so scrape the surface only lightly. After cutting, soak in water for about 5 minutes to prevent discoloration and remove bitterness. 💡
Adding the sweet seasonings (sake, mirin, sugar) first allows the flavors to penetrate the ingredients deeply and adds richness. 🔥
It is important to evaporate the excess moisture from the sauce before adding the rice. If there is too much liquid, the rice can become mushy. ⚠️
Since the rice will absorb the moisture from the sauce, it is recommended to use rice cooked slightly firmer than usual. 🍳
You can portion the rice into plastic wrap and freeze it once cooled (storage life is about 3 weeks). 👥
