Notes

*Nutritional facts provided are only an estimate, accuracy is not guaranteed.
  • Measuring cup used is the standard US measuring cup, not the cup that came with the rice cooker.
  • After you rinse the rice, make sure to drain the water very well – give it a few hard shakes in the strainer to take out as much water as possible. Too much residual water may make the rice texture mushy. 
  • Enjoy the rice immediately, if you keep it in the rice cooker too long, (depending on the rice cooker) the rice may form a burnt crust on the bottom of the pot.
  • Stir up all the ingredients well in the pot prior to cooking to ensure even distribution of flavors. 
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
