This is one of the variations of 'TakikomiGohan(炊き込みご飯)' which means 'Rice cooked with the other ingredients'. We use many types of ingredients like shiitake mushrooms, carrots, burdock root, bamboo shoot, deep fried tofu, chicken etc but this time, I used smoked mackerel which one can get easily everywhere in the UK. It was a bit of challenge the first time but it turned out to be a fantastic combination. Now this is a popular repeat dish at my home and all my children love this so much.
If you are preparing only for adult, have a try with lots of condiments (spices) like grated ginger and chopped spring onion as it removes the fishy smell, helps digesting and most of all tastes wonderful.
