Sugar in Takikomi Gohan

I only eat gems, but the phrase 'sweet rice' sounds strange. I've heard some households add sugar to give it richness. I wonder if your daughter, whom we spoke about the other day, also likes that taste?

It's delicious, isn't it~ 😋 Ever since I had kids, I've been using rice malt mirin instead of sugar~ ✨ My husband has diabetes, my father's side of the family has a history of diabetes, and my daughter is a hybrid of my husband x me, so I figured she'd have a high risk of developing diabetes too. I wanted to avoid sugar if possible... But then I received a large amount of white sugar from my in-laws' place 😭 This year, my mom made fig jam and used up all the sugar she had, so I'm finally free of it! 🤣🤣🤣
