Seri Gohan/せりご飯

For today's lunch, my father made seri gohan.
今日の昼ご飯には、父が、せりご飯を作りました。
Seri is one of the sansai (edible wild plants) that my father likes, and he usually makes seri gohan, using the seri that grows in the yard around his house. Unfortunately, he cannot get any seri from it this year, so he bought three bunches of seri at the supermarket yesterday.
せりは父が好きな山菜の一つで、いつもは、家の周りの庭で採れたせりで、せりご飯を作ります。残念なことに、今年は庭でせりが出来ず、昨日、父はスーパーで、せりを3束も買ってきました。

Gohan means cooked rice.
ご飯とは、炊いたお米のことです。

Making seri gohan is easy. Boil seri for some time, drain, and squeeze. Put some oil in a frying pan, put boiled seri, add gohan (cooked rice), and season with salt or say sauce.
せりご飯を作るのは簡単です。せりをちょっと茹でて、水を切り、絞り、フライパンに油を入れ、茹でたせりを入れ、ご飯を入れ、塩か、しょう油で味付けします。

diu: You mean the seri not the rice? We don't round or chop rice.
The seri was chopped as you can tell from the photo.
