I bought this Hotate Meshi no Moto (?Scallop Thing To Make Rice?) mix from Marukai. It was on sale for $4.99.
I don't know what I was expecting to find when I opened up the box, but it wasn't this.
It took me awhile to Google Translate the instructions, but from what I could decipher, you wash and rinse 2 cups (rice cooker cup) of rice. Then you add in the contents of the bag along with enough water so that the water level measures 2 cups. I also added in some shiitake mushrooms.
It was good . . . very scallop-y flavored. I'm glad that I tried it. But I doubt that I'd buy it again.
Ha! I bought that about a year ago thinking it was scallop dashi, and when I opened the box, I looked at the package of liquid and scallop bits and thought, WTH??? Then I used it in lieu of dashi for kabocha, and it was very good. Since then, I discovered iriko dashi, which is even better for making kabocha (my aunty's recipe -- Kay's mom).

surprised marukai didn't have the instructions translated for you on the back
Aunty, actually Landon had it circled in the Marukai flyer. Don't think I woulda got it otherwise.
Hahahaha, Lorna . . . that's what I said! I gotta look into iriko dashi now. Sounds interesting.
It actually was, Izsmom.
Maybe I missed it, Kat.

That really does look tasty, Jalna. I love how you always try new things you find at Marukai.

Les, I think you would like it.
Kay, I love looking for new things at Marukai.
