Add Alchemy Fibre™ For Rice for a healthier meal

Alchemy Fibre For Rice

We added Alchemy Fibre™ For Rice into this recipe for a healthier and fibrous meal 

Alchemy Fibre™️ for Rice is a patented plant-based fibre blend. When added to white rice during the cooking process, Alchemy Fibre™️ for Rice slows down the glucose release of white rice (i.e., lowers the Glycemic index of white rice to that of brown rice) while increasing the fibre content to 2.5x that of brown rice.

If you would like to add any other ingredients into your very own Kamameshi, go ahead! There is no limitation as to what goes into the rice, thus you can have your own options of meat, seafood and vegetables to substitute as well. For example, adding long beans and carrots or replacing salmon with eel, chicken or prawns. However, you might need to take into consideration on replacing some of the ingredients that requires longer cooking time than the ones we have used.  

The quality of ingredients used in this recipe is key to how the dish will turn out, especially the stock and seasoning used to cook the riceThe key to such Japanese rice dishes is a good Dashi soup base. If possible, make fresh dashi with just simple ingredients comprising dried kelp (kombu), dried bonito flakes (katsuobushi) and waterIn our recipe, we used good quality dashi granules and that works well too. Of course, good cooking sake, mirin and shoyu (Japanese soy sauce) helps to bring all the flavours together.
