Recipe Tips

For best results, use a high-quality white rice such as jasmine or basmati. Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly to remove excess starch, which can make the rice sticky. If you don't have a Zojirushi rice cooker, you can still make this recipe on the stovetop. Simply follow the same steps, but use a large pot with a tight-fitting lid instead of a rice cooker. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
