Prep Time: 2

Servings: serving

Ingredients

1-2 cups freshly cooked rice, still warm ideally Japanese short grain rice
1-2 teaspoons salted butter chilled
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

This recipe assumes you already have fresh cooked rice ready in the rice cooker (typical for many Hawaii families!) If not, go cook rice first.
Scoop some rice into a bowl. 1-2 cups, depending how hungry you are.
Place a pat of butter on top. I like to use salted butter but if you have unsalted butter at home, feel free to use that.
Drizzle soy sauce on top. Since this recipe only has 3 ingredients, the quality of the ingredients you use makes a difference. Use the best soy sauce you have.
Use chopsticks to gently mix. Then eat and enjoy! I love how soy sauce makes everything so good and comforting, and the butter melts into hot rice, coating each grain ^_^
