Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup rice (I recommend Japanese short-grain or medium grain rice for the most authentic Japanese experience!)
- Water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup peas &; diced carrots (I use the frozen packaged ones you can get from most grocery stores)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 6-8 shrimp (peeled and deveined), medium-sized
- 1-2 tablespoon gochugaru (adjust according to your spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- Sliced green onions (for garnish; optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the rice thoroughly and place it in the rice cooker. Add water as you normally would for the rice you are using.
- To the rice cooker, add your soy sauce, ginger, garlic, peas & carrots, and season with black pepper and salt.
- Close the rice cooker lid and cook on the regular white rice setting until the rice is cooked (this takes me ~20-25 minutes, but varies between rice cookers).
- Once done, place your shrimp directly on top of the rice, and sprinkle on the gochugaru. Cook for another 4-6 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked thoroughly.
- Finally, drizzle with sesame oil and serve, garnished with green onions.
