Rice Cooker

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups short grain white rice
1/2 cup sweet rice *also called chapssal, glutinous rice, or mochi rice
2 1/4 cup water
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp instant dashi powder *I use Hondashi
1 cup frozen shelled edamame
2 Tbsp Wakame Chazuke Furikake

Instructions

Rinse rice. Measure and add the short grain white rice and sweet rice (if using) to the rice cooker inner chamber. Add cold water and rinse several times (about 5-6 times) until the water runs mostly clear. Measure and add water.
Season rice. To the rice, add soy sauce and instant dashi powder. Stir briefly with a spoon to combine.
Soak rice. Let the rice rest while it soaks in the water. Ideally for 30 minutes. But even 5-10 minutes works when you're in a rush.
Cook rice. Cook rice according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
Add edamame. In the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, add the shelled frozen edamame. Add directly on top of the (almost) cooked rice, spreading into an even layer.
NOTE: Every rice cooker is different. My rice cooker signals when there are 10 minutes left of cook time. That's when I add the frozen edamame. If your rice cooker doesn't signal the last 10 minutes of cook time, try to estimate the last 5-10 minutes. You can also add the frozen edamame after the cook time has ended. After the time beeps, add the edamame, cover, and let it steam for 5-10 minutes, undisturbed.
Add Furikake. When the rice has finished cooking, open the rice cooker and fluff up the rice with a rice paddle. Mix as best you can so the rice and edamame are evenly distributed. Sprinkle the Wakame Chazuke Furikake directly on top. Mix again.
Serve. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Serve warm or room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

PRO Tips:

Soak the rice. For better overall texture, make sure to soak the rice before cooking. Ideally, soak the rice for 30 minutes. But if you're in a rush, even 5-10 minutes is good.
Double the recipe. This Edamame rice recipe easily doubles. Simply increase the ingredient amounts and cook in the rice cooker. *Make sure your rice cooker can accommodate the rice amount.
