Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup rice (I recommend Japanese short-grain or medium grain for the most authentic Japanese experience!)
- Water
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, uncooked
- 1 cup corn (frozen, fresh, or canned both work great)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced or grated
- Sliced green onions for garnishing, optional
Sauce for Topping (simply combine and mix the 3 ingredients):
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (add more or less depending on your spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Begin by giving your rice a good rinse to clean it. Then pour it into the rice cooker, along with the appropriate amount of water. Be sure to follow the instructions for the correct water amount depending on the type of rice you are using. I used medium-grain rice, which requires 2 cups of water for every 1.5 cups of rice.
- To the rice cooker, add your corn.
- Cut your chicken into bite-sized pieces. To a medium-sized bowl, add the chicken, along with the soy sauce and ginger. Using a spoon, ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated in the soy sauce.
- Place the chicken on top of the rice and corn in the rice cooker, pouring any remaining soy sauce and ginger on top of the chicken.
- Start the rice cooker and cook for the same amount of time you would typically cook rice by itself.
- Serve, and top each serving with the sauce.
