Clam and Burdock Root Rice

Littleneck clams are in season right now in Japan! Ordinarily, when cooking rice, you cook one part rice with 1.1 parts water. In this case, though, burdock root and clams provide moisture, so you'll start with 1:1 rice water, then, remove the volume of the seasonings from the amount of water used.
