Equipment

1 Rice cooker

Ingredients

1.5 cups short grain rice 2 rice cooker cups
1.5 cups water 2 rice cooker cups
2 Famichiki substitute recommendation above
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tbsp chicken bouillon

Optional topping

green onion
togarashi
nori (dried seaweed)

Instructions

Rinse the rice under cold water several times until the water runs mostly clear. This removes excess starch and keeps the rice fluffy. Drain well.
Place in rice cooker pot and add soy sauce, sesame oil, chicken stock and water
Close the lid and start regular white rice cooking cycle.The chicken will steam on top of the rice, releasing its juices and seasoning the entire dish as it cooks.
When the rice cooker beeps, let it rest for 5–10 minutes with the lid closed (this helps finish cooking the chicken and lets the flavors settle).
Then open the lid and mix the rice and chicken together.
Scoop into bowls and top with green onions, nori strips, or sesame seeds for extra flavor and color.
Make into onigiri rice balls to take on the go.
Serve and enjoy!
