Neat. You know, I've never seen a non-Japanese rice cooker. :)

[@mymidnightjapaneserecipes6579]

Oh there are many of them : )

Why does my rice turn wet, mushy than I prefer. I prefer it to be drier and fluffy. Do I add less water? How much water for 1.5 cups of rice?

Hello, was that soy sauce and sesame seed at the end?

[@rlvm02]

Hi! If you plan to eat rice for dinner as well (assuming the cooking process in the morning), Do you usually keep the rice warm inside the rice cooker? Or do you make another batch?

[@mymidnightjapaneserecipes6579]

I would NEVER leave cooked rice in the rice cooker as the flavor gets worse and worse, instead I always freeze them in single serving portion and microwave it as needed : )

[@tokopediachange2793]

very good! this make me know how to cook the rice, but did i need to use cold water to wash the rice? tq.
😃

[@mymidnightjapaneserecipes6579]

Thank you! I guess it doesn’t have to be cold water, but I was always told hot tap water is not good for you? : )

[@astronomicalidiot7442]

Amazing! Does the rice cooker brand matter?

[@mymidnightjapaneserecipes6579]

Thank you!
To me, it does matter : ) good rice cooker cooks much better rice than other inexpensive ones from my experience…Actually the material of inner pot is the most important part, and I really like my zojirushi. Please check the Amazon link in the description if interested : )

[@astronomicalidiot7442]

@@mymidnightjapaneserecipes6579 I went looking for your one lol! I wasn’t able to find it so this is a big help!

I actually have a mini rice cooker by Yum Asia, and it cooks Japanese rice beautifully!

[@loverlypeace9747]

​@@_HanaPandai have the same! But having problems with rice moist

[@_HanaPanda]

@@loverlypeace9747 oh really? I've not had that issue myself, but i do ignore the levels in the pot and always do 1 cup rice to 1 cup water (plus after washing the rice I try to make sure i drain as much of the water as possible before i add the cups of water to start cooking.. if that makes any sense?)

[@Sanchej0000]

Is this 1:1 ratio

[@abhoybhowmik3480]

Isn't it same as Indian style?

[@uniqueyoutubehandle]

Could you just soak the rice in the cooker?

[@mymidnightjapaneserecipes6579]

Yes totally! : )

[@ninalee8623]

So, no salt and no oil at all then.
🙂

[@yorha2b278]

4 times is way too many times. Any Asian would have cried in agony!

[@user-rl9bf1jr8i]

No rice vinegar sugar ? Wth

[@TheTamago]

It's only if you make maki sushi with it:)
