Introduction

Welcome to 7 Days of Rice: All-in-On

Rice Cooker Recipes. This is anntroductory recipe book brought to you

by Karate Rice. These pages containseven of my favourite all-in-one ricecooker recipes. Since this book is sosmall, there are no filler recipes. I make

all of these recipes on a regular basis.Unlike some other rice cooker cookbooks, these recipes are designed t

be cooked using nothing but a ricecooker. There is no need for a frying panor saucepan with this book.

Some of the recipes make more than one



serving. The nutritional informationprovided is not per serving, rather, per recipe. It's normal for me to eat every

"serving" as one meal. When you look ahe calorie count, you'll notice that none

of these recipes are particularly highcalorie. That's the beauty of whole plantfoods. We get full before we eat "toomuch". Additionally, all these recipescontain ZERO cholesterol.

Choosing a Rice Cooker

Rice cookers range in price

dramatically. You can find them onAmazon for under $20 for the budgetmodels, all the way up to over $500 for he most advanced models. In my

experience, I have found the Japanesecompany Zojirushi to make what Iconsider to be the best rice cookers.

Personally, I recommend Zojirushinduction Heating rice cookers. Thisechnology provides the most even

heating to the rice cooker cooking bowl

and makes what I consider to be



superior rice.

Below are the different types of rice

cookers commonly available (fromcheapest to most expensive):

Electrical rice cooker

Has an on/off switch and uses a heatingelement under the cooking bowl to heathe rice. This type of rice cooker may or

may not have a 'keep warm' function.

Micom rice cooker



This style of rice cooker has a 'MicroComputer' which controls the heating

cycle. A micom rice cooker willypically cost over $100. It has a numbe

of rice cooking options, e.g. white rice,brown rice, porridge, etc. These ricecookers utilize a heating element under he heating bowl.

nduction Heating rice cooker

An Induction Heating (IH) rice cooker ncludes Micom technology. The

difference is in the heating method.

Rather than a heating element, an IH rice



cooker uses an electrical current tocreate a magnetic field which heats thecooking bowl directly. The heat comes

from all around the cooking bowl whichensures the most even heat distribution.

Pressure rice cooker

n addition to Micom and IH, the top of he range models also feature pressure

cooking. This helps to reduce thecooking time of the rice.

Even though I have used, and sometimesstill use, pressure rice cookers, they are

not my number one choice. Technically



one could argue that they are moreadvanced than more basic InductionHeating models. However, the downsid

o the pressure rice cookers, other thanheir higher cost, is that we can't openhem during the cooking cycle. This isn't

a problem if you simply want to makeplain rice. However, for all-in-onerecipes, it is advantageous to have theoption of opening the lid while the rice

cooker is on.

How to Wash Rice

When cooking Japanese rice, a very

mportant step is to wash it before



cooking. Short grain rice is particularlystarchy and if we don't wash itbeforehand, it can become too sticky

when cooked. I always wash my riceregardless of whether I am using short oong grain rice. Brown rice can simply

be rinsed. The following procedure is asimple way to wash white rice. You canwatch a video of me washing rice onYoutube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtQR2_mZKRA

1. Measure out the rice into the ricecooker cooking bowl.

2. Add a little bit of water and thenmix the rice round with the tips of

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DVtQR2_mZKRA



your fingers for about 10 seconds.3. Add more water to the cooking

bowl (about 1/2 full) then pour the

water away. Be careful not to loseany rice!

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 twice more.5. Your rice is now washed.

ote: If you're concerned about wasting

water, the "rice water" is an excellentnatural fertilizer for the garden.

The other way I like to wash rice is

using a sieve and bowl. This is handywhen I don't want to add rice at the startof a recipe, for example Rice Cooker Stew



This video demonstrates the sievewashing technique:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knGf1OBxYxc

1. Measure out the rice into the sieveinside a bowl.

2. Place the bowl under the tap in the

sink.3. Turn the tap on gently and mix therice round with the tips of your fingers for about 10 seconds.

4. Once the bowl starts to overflow,lift the sieve and pour away themilky coloured water.

5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 twice more.
