Ingredients

  • 1 "rice cup" of uncooked rice, ideally Japanese short grain rice (1 "rice cup" = ¾ regular cup)
  • 1-2 tablespoons shio kombu

Instructions

  • Rinse the rice several times in water until the water runs almost clear. I like to rinse the rice directly in the rice cooker pot - one less thing to wash!
  • Fill the rice cooker pot with water up to the “1 cup” line.
  • Cook the rice as you normally would in the rice cooker. There should be an automatic button setting on the rice cooker.
  • Once the rice is done cooking, let it sit for 10 minutes. Then open the rice cooker and fluff the rice with a rice paddle.
  • Top the rice with the shio kombu. Start with 1 tablespoon of shio kombu. If you like it more flavorful, then add more shio kombu.
    Use the rice paddle to gently combine and fluff until everything is evenly mixed.
  • Serve and enjoy!
