Home made Japanese sticky rice okowa

I made Japanese sticky rice recently and I decided to share with you. Usually you use carrots, gobo, konnyaku, etc but since all I had was spinach, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms, that's what I used.

Always make sure to wash your rice before you cook until water is clear!

Sweet rice 1.5 / add 3+ cups water as shown

Add:

Hondashi powder (or use real dashi broth)

sake 1.5Tbsp

mirin 1.5tsp

sugar 1.5 tsp

soy sauce 1.5 tsp

salt 1/2 tsp

FYI, In Japan, every single household has hondashi at home. We use this to any kind of Japanese food. It's easy and convenient if you wanna quick dashi flavor, HOWEVER, another word of hondashi is MSG. Yup, that's right. It's MSG.

So for your health, I don't really recommended to use it often.
