TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: Gomoku Gohan (五目ご飯 – a 5-ingredient mixed rice, which is loosely translated because there are roughly five ingredients ) is seasoned steamed rice with meat and vegetables.
As the name implies it involves rice cooked with five other things. What those are, depends largely on the household, but typical additions include, fried tofu, chicken, fish, bamboo, carrots, mushrooms, lotus root, burdock, konnyaku, fishcake, and edamame.
As you might expect from a rice eating culture, there are dozens of rice dishes where rice is cooked with another ingredient for flavor, but gomoku gohan is probably the most famous of them all.
Depending on where you are/live in Japan, this dish might be called Kayaku Gohan (かやくご飯) or Takikomi Gohan ( 炊き込みご飯 ).
There is also a very similar dish called Maze Gohan (混ぜご飯). Unlike Gomoku Gohan where uncooked rice and other ingredients are cooked in the same pot, Maze Gohan is the cooked rice mixed with cooked and seasoned ingredients.
