April Ouchigohan: Salmon Takikomi Gohan

Join the Japan-America Society of North Carolina (JASNC) for the next edition of Ouchigohan! A fun, family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class!

Let’s welcome the new season with a trio of delicious spring dishes! This month’s menu continues our #EdamameChamp programming with Salmon Takikomi Gohan, a comforting one-pot rice dish studded with bright green edamame. Rice, salmon, vegetables, and savory seasonings cook together in a rice cooker or on the stovetop, creating a flavorful and nourishing Japanese-style pilaf!​

​We’ll also prepare Broccolini with Miso Dressing, inspired by nanohana, Japan’s delicate spring vegetable. The tender broccolini pairs beautifully with a rich, savory miso sauce that highlights the fresh flavors of the season.​

To finish, we’ll make Mitarashi Dango, one of Japan’s most beloved traditional sweets. These chewy dumplings are made with silken tofu for extra tenderness and drizzled with a glossy sweet soy glaze—the perfect balance of sweet and savory.​

Join us as we cook, taste, and celebrate the flavors of spring—right from the comfort of your own kitchen.
