1. Rice in a Rice Cooker
Japanese short-grain rice is the most commonly used rice with Japanese meals. It's not only a good source of protein, but it's affordable as well.
Since rice is cooked daily by so many people in Japan and other countries around the world, the simplest approach is to use a rice cooker. After all, let's face it: time is limited, and with all the things we have going on, sometimes there's just not enough time (or maybe energy!) to prepare your rice on a stovetop.
But it's not just click-and-go! Nami from Just One Cookbook offers some helpful tips on how to make Japanese rice to perfection using a rice cooker below, including rinsing and a 30-minute soak!

I learned cooking from my mom at a young age. She cooked for us every night and I still get very excited when I visit my home in Japan because I can eat her delicious meals. The name Just One Cookbook came from my passion to make "just one cookbook" for all my family recipes, so I can save all the recipes my family enjoys in one place and then one day pass them on to my children.
