Directions
Prepare the green peas
Rinse the fresh or frozen greens peas under cool water and drain. Lightly sprinkle with kosher salt and set aside.
Prepare the rice
Measure the dry rice using the provided measuring cup for the rice cooker. Rinse the rice with cool water in a bowl or rice rinser until the water runs clear. Drain the water completely and add the rice to the rice cooker pot. Add the appropriate amount of water according to the instructions for your rice cooker and for the amount of rice being used. Be sure to move the pot back and forth so the rice is even and the water level can be measured accurately.
Add the remaining ingredients
Add the sake, kosher salt and green peas to the cooking pot. Stir the ingredients using a non-stick safe spoon then move the pot back and forth to even out the ingredients. Now place the pot inside the rice cooker.
Cook the rice
Set to “standard/normal” or “white” rice and start the rice cooker.
After the rice is finished cooking, fluff the rice with a rice paddle to help release steam and to help with texture.
Serving
Serve with your favorite dish! Enjoy!
It is fun to mold the rice using a small bowl. Lightly pack rice into a bowl completely filling to the top. Now place a plate over the bowl. Flip the bowl and plate over to release the rice from the bowl onto the plate. That’s it! Tasty and beautiful! 🙂
