Takana rice

It looks like just pickled mustard leaf on top of steamed white rice, however there is more. It is mustard leaf fried rice, which is rice fried together with pickled mustard leaf in sesame oil. The mustard leaf pickle is a must-have in local kitchens, and the variety that includes chili is particularly loved by the locals. It is served at school lunches and even the kids love it.
