Notes
BETTER WITH CHAR
This dish tastes better if you can get a slight char on the rice. This is difficult to achieve in only a rice cooker but if your cooker has a CRUST or CLAYPOT setting then you can use this instead of the SHORT GRAIN function for cooking. Another way to try and achieve the char is to add a little less water before cooking. Allow the rice to soak with the ingredients for 20 minutes before cooking (rice will absorb water to give a drier finish) and after cooking allow the mix to stay on KEEP WARM for 5-10 minutes before serving.
