I thought, 'Banana? No way,' but when I tried making takikomi gohan with it, I was surprised at how delicious it was [Recipe included]
What do you think about sweet rice?
This time, I tried putting the unexpected ingredient, 'banana,' into takikomi gohan.
A while ago, I wanted to try adding fruit, so I experimented with apples. Surprisingly, the taste was actually delicious. Having discovered this new combination of 'takikomi gohan x fruit,' I wanted to try another fruit, which is why I chose banana this time.
By the way, I've summarized the ingredients I used with the apples and my thoughts on the taste here👇🏻
It's been about a week since I last used chicken breast, but I like it because it's easier to cut than chicken thigh.
A strange sight of a banana sitting on top of the meat.
The banana is so shriveled it's kind of funny.
Adding the green onions makes it look colorful and nice!
The moisture level is just right too!
I'm excited to see what it tastes like.
Time to eat.
It's incredibly delicious!
I made it with the mindset of 'it's fine if it fails,' but I was surprised at how well-balanced the flavor was, more than I expected.
The richness of the fish sauce and the aroma of the sesame oil blend exquisitely with the sweetness of the banana, creating an 'Asian-style but gentle flavor.'
Honestly, I thought it would be more pungent, but I feel like this is easy for anyone to eat.
The banana has melted into a creamy texture, and a natural sweetness has transferred to the rice. It's blended into the rice so well that you wouldn't know it was there unless someone told you, leaving it just slightly sweet.
The umami of the chicken breast and garlic, along with the aroma of the sesame oil, are just right, and it's not nearly as unusual as I thought it would be.
It's so good that I want to serve it to my family and friends. It might be fun to play a game where they guess what fruit is in it.
I'll continue to try various combinations that make people say, 'Wait, you're putting that in there!?'🍚
