The other day, I learned about "mandarin rice" from Sunny Sanae's post on X. What a great way to add a whole mandarin with the peel!

I have been following her since I read her books last year. She proposes gentle meals using seasonal ingredients to care our body.
After I read her post on X in the weekend, I couldn't wait until stores open on Monday. Thanks to Germany, an organic food nation, I could find organic mandarin in season easily for affordable price at a supermarket. I usually buy organic fruits but this time it's more important as I eat the skin.
I had never heard of mandarin rice, but it seems to be a common dish in Shizuoka and Ehime prefectures in Japan, where mandarin production is thriving. There were various recipes and I decided to make it simple.
All you need to do is to cook one mandarin, which has been rubbed with salt, with one cup of rice. Because of the water content of the mandarin, less than 1 cup of water is needed. Sanae Sunny recommended a salty taste, so I added salt, dashi kelp, and ginger. Ginger is used in one of the recipes, and I just had some say sauce cooked ginger made with leftover from making ginger syrup.
Although the visual impact of a mandarin in the pot with the rice was quite strong but it cooked up well.
The mandarin's fresh sourness, sweetness, a little bitterness, and slight saltiness was delicious and fine! I ate up almost the whole amount I cooked with kimchi as a side dish. Ja, it should be delicious. Talking about citrus and rice, there is yuzu rice in Japan.
If I were to make one improvement to the way I made it, next time I would cut the mandarin oranges in half horizontally before cooking it. I was surprised how quickly the rice cooked because of the less amount of water. I carefully broke up the mandarin with a rice scoop and put the lid back. After steamed the rice for 10-15 minutes, it cooked properly without leaving any core in rice corns. I would like to relaxedly cooking it ๐
So, if you have organic mandarins at home or they are available in your area, why don't you give it a try? It is delicious!
