3 Surprising meals you can make with a rice cooker
As its name says, a rice cooker is a small home appliance that provides an easy, hands-off cooking method for perfect, fluffy rice at the touch of a button.
We can cook a wide variety of rice with this appliance. Be it jasmine, brown rice, basmati, and more, which is the perfect foil for most mouth-watering Indonesian cuisine.
A rice cooker is also well-known as a one-use kitchen tool, which can handle many other delicious meals apart from only cooking white rice.
Instead of wasting its abilities, why not test out these three no-brainer recipes with your little cooking ninja?
All Kinds of Indonesian Bubur
Indonesian porridge, or bubur, is the signature comfort food eaten by old and young alike in Indonesia.
From savory to sweet, breakfast all the way to a post-dinner treat, porridge feeds the masses. This becomes the main reason why bubur can be found on almost every side street in Indonesia.
The great news is that many modern models come with an automatic porridge-cooking setting. So, you will only need to prepare all the ingredients and flavors that served as condiments, throw them all in the cooker and press the start button.
You can choose your preferred texture- soft and silky or more watery, using a different water ratio. A delicious and belly-warming meal can be served on the dining table in a short while without much hassle.
Aromatic Indonesian Turmeric Rice
Turmeric rice or Nasi Kuning is a popular rice dish in Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia.
The golden yellow and aromatic rice is perceived to look like a pile of gold, so it is often served on festive occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, and more.
If you are looking for perfectly cooked turmeric rice, neither too soft nor hard, you will only need to use a rice cooker instead.
Based on the recipe from WhatToCookToday, here are some simple steps to follow:
- Place the ingredients: rice, water, coconut milk, spices, seasonings, and herbs in the inner pot of the cooker.
- Stir to mix all the ingredients and cook on a rice-cooking setting.
- After the rice is done, wait for 10 minutes. After that, open the lid to fluff the rice.
