Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 ½ cups Japanese short-grain rice (2 rice cooker cups for 4 servings)
  • 1 ⅔ cups water
  • 1 corn on the cob
  • 1 Tbsp sake
  • 1 ⅓ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Place a sieve over a bowl, add rice, and rinse it with water (not included in the recipe). Repeat this process several times, changing the water each time.
  • Soak the rinsed rice in water (as specified in the recipe) in a pot for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove the husk, silk, and stalk from the corn. Next, cut the corn in half crosswise. Then, stand each half of the corn upright and cut off the kernels with a knife.
  • Add sake and salt to the pot, stirring to distribute them evenly. Scatter the kernels and place the corn cobs on top.
  • Cover the pot and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 11 minutes (10 minutes for 2 servings, 12 minutes for 6 servings).
  • Turn off the heat and let it steam for 10 minutes with the lid still on.
  • Open the lid and remove the corn cobs, then mix the rice and kernels together.

Notes

  • You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
