Rice is an essential dish in every Vietnamese meal. It is typically consumed with other nutritious foods such as meat, fish, vegetables, and soup. In Japan, rice is also a staple in their meals, but they go beyond just eating white rice. They often prepare takikomi gohan – rice with various flavors.
Takikomi gohan is a popular dish in Japan, well-known for its combination of rice, chestnuts, and matsutake mushrooms. One girl took this dish to the next level by cooking rice with coffee for her entire family. Although initially surprised, her family praised the deliciousness of the dish after tasting it.
If you want to introduce a new flavor to your family’s meals and try something different with rice, consider following the unique recipe of the Japanese people. Instead of using regular water, replace it with coffee to create a delicious and flavorful dish.
To cook this dish, start by preparing a coffee solution and diluting it with water. Then, wash the rice and place it in a pot. Pour the diluted coffee water into the pot, using the same amount as you would for cooking regular rice. Finally, press the rice cooker button and wait for the rice to cook.

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and sprinkle some salt and black sesame seeds on top. The subtle aroma of coffee will surely make you crave for more. Take this opportunity to showcase your culinary skills and treat your entire family to this new dish.
Enjoy your meal. (Photo: soranews24)
