Pin Recipe
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Japanese short-grain rice (1 rice cooker cup for 2 servings)
- 1.8 oz green peas (shelled)
- 1 ½ cups water (for simmering the peas)
- 1 tsp salt (for simmering the peas)
- 1 Tbsp sake
- ¾ cup water used to simmer the peas (prepared in step 3)
Instructions
- Place a sieve over a bowl, add rice, and rinse it with water. Repeat this process several times, changing the water each time.
- Soak the rinsed rice in water in a pot for at least 30 minutes.
- In another pot, combine the water (as specified in the recipe) and salt, and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add green peas and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. After that, turn off the heat and let them cool gradually in the pot.
- Transfer the peas to a bowl. Do not discard the boiled water, as you will need it for the next step.
- Drain the soaking water from the pot with the rice. Combine the drained rice with sake and the water used to simmer the peas (the amount specified in the recipe) in the pot.
- Cover the pot and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 10 minutes, or slightly longer for larger quantities (11 minutes for 4 servings, 12 minutes for 6 servings).
- Turn off the heat and let it steam for 10 minutes with the lid still on.
- Mix the green peas into the cooked rice.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
