Fluffy Potato Rice
Easy Rice Cooker Potato Rice Recipe
Tired of plain rice? Try adding a potato when you cook your rice! The delightful combination of fluffy, sweet potatoes and freshly cooked rice will awaken your appetite. It’s incredibly simple to make using just your rice cooker.
Rice Ingredients- 1 cup rice (approx. 180g)
- 1 medium potato
Flavorful Seasoning Sauce- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 handful chopped green onion (approx. 2 Tbsp)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (or 1/2 tsp minced garlic)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 handful chopped green onion (approx. 2 Tbsp)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (or 1/2 tsp minced garlic)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash and peel the potato. Then, cut it into 8 equal pieces, creating roughly 1-inch cubes. Cutting them into slightly larger pieces prevents them from becoming too mushy during cooking.
Step 2
Rinse 1 cup of rice and place it in your rice cooker. Add the prepared potato cubes. Pour in slightly more water than you normally would for 1 cup of rice – about 2mm higher – to ensure the potatoes cook thoroughly and the rice remains moist. You can use either the standard or quick cook setting.
Step 3
While the rice is cooking, gather all the ingredients for the seasoning sauce. You’ll need 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp toasted sesame seeds, a handful of freshly chopped green onions (about 2 Tbsp), and 1/4 tsp garlic powder (or 1/2 tsp minced garlic).
Step 4
Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Mix them thoroughly with a spoon until well incorporated. This ensures a balanced flavor in your sauce.
Step 5
When your rice cooker signals that cooking is complete, open the lid to reveal the steaming, appetizing potato rice.
Step 6
This potato rice is delicious on its own, but it’s even better when mixed with the prepared seasoning sauce. Transfer the hot rice to a large bowl or a traditional Korean mixing bowl (yangpyun). Add the desired amount of seasoning sauce and gently mix, being careful not to mash the rice grains. Enjoy this delightful meal!
