Rice Cooker Meals
-
I’ve been messing with the rice cooker and have settled on a quick rice bowl I like very much. Quick, cheap, easy, and uses up leftovers. Hundreds of variations are possible, depending on what’s going sideways in the fridge and what flavor I feel like at the moment, but here are the basics.
Sauté mirepoix in bottom of rice cooker in a tiny amount of olive oil. Add garlic (fresh or powder) and sautee a bit longer. Add leftover bits of cooked meat/fish if I have some and heat through. Add leftover or frozen veg. Add rice/water or stock.
Push button.
That basic recipe makes a rice bowl WAY better than most takeout. No weird additives, either. Always comes out perfectly.
I’ve been playing with Asian/Mexican/Middle Eastern versions. If anyone has suggestions I’d love to try them!

I've gotten so lazy about rice since I found Trader joes frozen organic brown in 2010. But I light try this for a poke bowl!

@Steve-Miller are you sautéeing in the rice cooker, or inner pot on the stove? It has never occurred to me that you can turn it on with the lid open!

In the rice cooker pot in the rice cooker.
It doesn’t get hot enough to sear but it’s perfect for sweating vegetables.
