COOKING RICE MT. FUJI WAY



Cooking Rice Mt. Fuji Way image

I remember our Japanese cook measuring and cooking rice using this technique as a child. My sister-in-law is married to a Japanese and she learned this technique as a bride when she went to Hawaii to live.

Number Of Ingredients 2

- rice, any amount you need to cook
- water

Steps:

  • Put the palm of your hand flat on the surface of the rice and add water until the water touches the knuckle of your middle finger. You now have enough water to cook your rice. I have no idea why, but this method has worked with every size of rice cooker I've ever used, and every (adult) size of hand I've ever seen... it works when I just wash whatever rice is left in the bag, toss it in the pot, and fill. It's also great for sanity checking when you can't remember whether you washed three or four cups of rice or what.
  • Cover pan or rice cooker. If cooking on stove bring to a boil and then lower heat to lowest setting possible. Continue cooking for 20 minutes. Fluff rice before serving.

Hibachi Fried Rice Recipe image

Easy hibachi style fried rice copycat recipe. Make this dish your own by choosing your favorite protein ingredients. I added chicken and eggs in mine.

Provided by Helene Dsouza

Categories     Main Course

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup uncooked Rice ((*see notes) or about 3 cups cooked rice)
3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 1/2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
1 Teaspoon Sugar
2 Tablespoons Oil
1 Tablespoons Ginger + Garlic (*see Notes)
1-2 pieces Green Onions (aka spring onion)
1 cup Mixed Carrots and Peas (carrot cut into matchsticks)
2 Eggs
3.5 ounces Protein of your choice (*see Notes)

Steps:

  • First, have your rice cooked and ready. If you don't have leftover rice, cook your rice al dente (to the bite), that way when you plan on stir-frying the rice it won't turn soggy.
  • Keep all your ingredients ready. Mix the sauce ingredient together and keep aside. Cut the carrot into matchsticks. Clean and/or cut your protein into bite-sized pieces.
  • Heat up a large skillet or wok with the oil and stir cook the sliced green onion bulbs with the ginger + garlic (or substitute with garlic butter).
  • Add the carrot and peas and stir cook for a minute on high heat.
  • Make space in your pan (see video) and break in the eggs. Scramble, cook and break the eggs. Mix and stir cook everything quickly.
  • Make space again and add your protein. In the video, I used chicken pieces. Stir cook on all side on high heat for a minute and mix everything together.
  • Now add in your cooked rice and pour your stir fry sauce over the rice. Mix and stir cook everything for a minute or two until everything is cooked and well combined. Use high heat and don't over mix because it shouldn't get mushy.
  • Garnish with fresh sliced green onion stalks. Serve hot.

MASTER SUSHI RICE

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups sushi rice (Calrose/short grain)
Water, up to Mount Fuji (see below)
1 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup mirin
1/2 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Wash rice at least 3 times or until water is clear. Fill rice cooker or casserole with water to about 1-inch over rice or use Mt Fuji method. I highly recommend a rice cooker - more than 2 billion people use them in Asia for a reason. Slowly heat vinegar, mirin and sugar until very hot but not boiling. Fold in 'su' (vinegar and sugar) with the hot rice, add enough so that the rice has a tart/sweet taste. Rice should be shiny, not mushy. Carefully clean bowl with damp cloth, cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

JAPANESE STEAKHOUSE FRIED RICE RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Japanese Steakhouse Fried Rice Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by AzWench

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 cups cooked medium-grain rice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 green onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons gomasio (sesame and salt seasoning)
Black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large wok or on a griddle, scramble the eggs in 1 tablespoon of the butter over low to medium heat. Remove from the wok and set aside on a plate. Melt the additional 2 tablespoons of butter in the wok or on the griddle over high heat. Add the garlic and carrots, stirring constantly. After 1 to 2 minutes, stir in the cooked rice and soy sauce. Toss to thoroughly incorporate the ingredients. Add the cooked eggs and onion and mix in the gomasio and black pepper to taste; cook for another 6 to 8 minutes, or until the rice is warmed through and the flavors incorporated. Serve immediately alongside grilled meats or a teriyaki-style main dish. Tips: Make your fried rice stand out by varying the ingredients. Yumiko Kanou, chef and owner of the Tokyo restaurant Nakaiseki Sen, leaves out the egg, butter and gomasio and adds pine nuts, sesame oil and chiles de arbol to her brown fried rice. A splash of sake added along with the soy sauce adds another layer of flavor to fried rice, too. Cook the rice the day before and refrigerate it overnight. Refrigerated rice is less likely to stick together when fried, so you'll get separated grains, rather than a mushy mass. To give the rice even more flavor, cook it in chicken or vegetable broth. That Steakhouse Flavor Although this recipe is a close approximation of Japanese steakhouse fried rice, it can't duplicate it exactly. Teppanyaki-style restaurants usually cook the rice straight on the grill that's used to cook the meat and multiple other dishes. This imparts a flavor into the rice that's unique and almost impossible to replicate without a highly seasoned grill.
