I love seeing your posts and videos especially the ones dedicated to your daughter. What a beautiful family :) sending blessings to you guys from Vietnam xoxox
Thank you for continuing to make videos for us, even though you have a new baby. I love your channel, and I've tried a couple of recipes so far. The Japanese potato salad is one i make often.
I'm from Hawaii and my mother in-law would make sekihan every year for New Years. This year I'm making it. I hope she approves. Thank you for the recipe.
***** oh is the intro video up already? Cause I didn't see it mention anything about your name or anything . (apart from the very first video which u mention ur username name :P )
Dear Ochikeron, I was hoping for you to make a kitchen tour seeing as you have many different appliances that are unique. Could you make a video showing all the different machines in your kitchen and stove? I know you're busy with your baby but if you ever have free time.
What a good idea ! Japanese kitchen are really different. I wish Ochikeron could talk about his rice cooking machine (and the rice strainer ! I wish I had one !).
Sorry, I am not ochikeron-san but I probably know the answer :) Ochi-san probably uses the white rice because the sushi rice is for cooking rice with less water when making sushi, because you add vinegar after cooking. In Japan, "sushi rice" refers to white rice mixed with vinegar and sugar. In the USA, "sushi rice" just refers to Japanese white rice that can potentially be mixed with vinegar and sugar to make sushi. Hope this is helpful :) If I'm wrong please correct :)
TeddysCooking sweet mochi rice is a type of short grain rice as is sushi rice. My rice cooker has a sushi rice setting for short grain rice that has starch removed as well as a mixed rice setting for white rice or white rice with vegetables. I usually use jasmine rice for the white rice setting. Sushi rice is not cooked with vinegar ever - it is washed then cooked in the rice cooker, then vinegar is added after it is removed from the rice cooker in a bamboo bowl to make it as you described.
Sorry that my comment wasn't too clear :) What I meant is that "Sushi rice" as known in Japan is cooked as white Japanese (short grain = originally Japanese, or medium grain = calrose or other hybird) rice with less water. After cooking, vinegar mixed with sugar and salt is added and stirred in. After the stirring, the rice is now called sushi rice, in Japanese. In contrast, in America, most people just call ALL Japanese short or medium grain rices "sushi rice" regardless of whether they were mixed with vinegar or not. That is how you were using the term: "Sweet mochi rice is a type of short grain rice as in sushi rice". So what I meant is that in Japan, "sushi rice" is not a variety of rice but rather a way of preparing rice. That's what I was trying to say. I hope you forgive me if I wasn't clear :) Therefore to my understanding, on Japanese-made rice cookers, the "sushi rice" function is meant to cook Japanese rice with less water than normal, so it can be later mixed with vinegar to create what is known as "sushi rice" in Japan. Meanwhile, the white rice is meant for plain Japanese rice, AKA what most Americans (not assuming you are an American) call Japanese white rice, and "mixed rice" should refer to the dish takikomi gohan. Because I think that ochikeron-san said to add water to the normal level, I believe the "white rice" setting is appropriate to use. I hope this is helpful and no longer unclear :)
I have a Zojirushi rice cooker while she does a Panasonic one, so I'm not sure about a couple of its settings, but as far as I can see, her rice cooker has at least 11 settings: regular, harder, softer, porridge, mixed, (not sure about this one but I guess) steam-reduced, rice for curry, small amount, sushi, quick cooking and scorching. And in this recipe she used the "mixed" setting. Hope that helps. Edited: Hers should have more settings like mine, such as white rice, brown rice, GABA brown rice and rinse-free rice. So her setting read "white rice" and "mixed."
I love sekihan *_* since becoming vegan I mostly have to avoid japanese food, but sekihan has always been my favourite and I'll definitely try your recipe out!
Yay, another Rice Recipe! I do have one question. I am in America so it is sometimes hard to find the Japan specific items, like Mochi Rice. Can I substitute the rice I normally use in my rice cooker ( I usually use Jasmine due to the ease of finding it) for the mochi rice? Also, your daughter is adorable!
I am not sure what area in America you live it, but if there is an Asian grocery store you will definitely find mochi rice. It is often called sweet rice on the packaging. If there are no Asian grocery stores, you can also find them in health food stores. Wherever you can find azuki beans, you will most likely find the mochi rice. I hope you can find the ingredients :)
ShadowFlyerJadis Also, if you can't find it in your area, don't hesitate to use Amazon! Then it'll be delivered right to your door, and you might even be able to get the brand she uses in the video. Just look for the same packaging. Amazon is a great way to get a lot of ingredients, pots, pans and other special equipment that may not be found in your area. Its where I got my bento boxes, egg molds and a few other tools
Is the Japanese red beans different than the usual one or do they like it al dente?. Because mine would never be fully cooked and soft in such a short time.
Actually azuki beans are red beans, same thing because Chinese call them 红豆 which means "red beans". But the other people commenting might be thinking about red kidney beans, which are totally different species, but in some countries they are called red beans too. Actually, to make it more confusing some people think that Chinese red beans and Japanese azuki are different varieties, but in the Asian stores, 红豆 is translated as both "red beans" and "azuki beans" on the packaging, so I think they are the same. If I am wrong about this, you can correct me :) The red/azuki beans are sort of al dente, not extremely mushy, in this recipe because they are not cooked too long. But they are still cooked for 18 minutes plus rice cooking time, so totals around 45 minutes, which is enough to make them soft enough to eat. Hope this is helpful :)
Asian people usually wash their rice whenever they make it to remove dust, etc. It isn't actually too necessary (because most western cooks do not wash the rice), but it is a habit :) The rice is still sticky because most of the starch stays in the rice, and white rice does nor have many minerals in the first place. :)
I come back here after 6 years since I forgot how to cook this. 😂. Love this. Thank you ...for still keeping this video.❤❤❤this.

I love how Ochi said "OH MY GOD!" In English. lool
looks sooooo tasty
Whenever you said "Oh my God" You sounded like an American!!!! :D
I'm definitely trying out this recipe! :D
This dish was new to me and I saw this from episode 1 of gintama
Hi Ochikeron. Can you tell me where you get your pot? It's very nice.
Hi Ochikeron.. I love your recipes!! I recently got myself a ricecooker..
I was wondering if you have some recipes for ricecooker dishes?
I wish I had the same types of beans and rice, but I’m doing my best right now to make it with the types I have.
This looks so good! Btw, funny ending xD
The funniest part is when she said "Oh my god!!!" !!!! I find it very funny and cute hehehe
Yummmmmmm!!!!!!!
Hi. I m ur loyal supporter. Can I check if mochi sticky rice is japanese glutinous rice? Thanks
Ochikeron, this looks great. Do you use the white/mixed rice setting or sushi rice setting on your rice cooker when you use mochi sticky rice? Thanks!

I can't read Japanese- all I wish to know is what setting was used on the rice cooker for this recipe from ochikeron.
I have a Zojirushi rice cooker while she does a Panasonic one, so I'm not sure about a couple of its settings, but as far as I can see, her rice cooker has at least 11 settings: regular, harder, softer, porridge, mixed, (not sure about this one but I guess) steam-reduced, rice for curry, small amount, sushi, quick cooking and scorching.

I love sekihan *_* since becoming vegan I mostly have to avoid japanese food, but sekihan has always been my favourite and I'll definitely try your recipe out!
do you eat it alone or with some other things?
Would this be sweet since the beans are usually in sweet dishes?
Yay, another Rice Recipe!
I do have one question. I am in America so it is sometimes hard to find the Japan specific items, like Mochi Rice. Can I substitute the rice I normally use in my rice cooker ( I usually use Jasmine due to the ease of finding it) for the mochi rice?
Also, your daughter is adorable!
no for the Osekihan... mochi rice gives the perfect flavor. since it is very simple there is no substitute for this taste X(
I am not sure what area in America you live it, but if there is an Asian grocery store you will definitely find mochi rice. It is often called sweet rice on the packaging. If there are no Asian grocery stores, you can also find them in health food stores. Wherever you can find azuki beans, you will most likely find the mochi rice. I hope you can find the ingredients :)
Ok, Thank you.
Oh! I have seen Sweet Rice, I did not know that was the same thing... I will get that!
You're welcome! I'm glad that I could help :)

On another note, will you be teaching your daughter to speak English as well as Japanese?
Oh poor baby got sick. She's so cute!
Is the Japanese red beans different than the usual one or do they like it al dente?. Because mine would never be fully cooked and soft in such a short time.
Azuki red beans are completely different from regular red beans lol.
Ouh really!. All this time I thought it's the same thing! 😅
ghaida h Yep! Thinner skin and softer texture.

Why do you wash the sticky rice? I thought that removed a lot of the minerals and starch that makes it "sticky". Thanks!

TeddysCooking Thanks for the info! :]
