Ingredients

  • Essential: Northeast Rice (a 5kg bag costing around 30 RMB is fine; we recommend using a Xiaomi IH Rice Cooker to cook it. The tutorial used the Xiaomi small rice cooker, **do not recommend using a pressure cooker to cook rice**)
  • Essential: Katsuobushi Nori flakes (Available on JD and Taobao, search for "Japanese Rice Topping")
  • Essential: Corn kernels (Search Taobao for "processed corn kernels")

Steps

  1. Serve the rice and mix in the corn kernels.
  2. Add the katsuobushi nori flakes.

Notes

This is a delicious and simple Japanese-style meal. The rice grains are distinct, blending the savory taste of katsuobushi, the crispy aroma of nori, and the natural sweetness of corn. Katsuobushi is rich in high-quality protein and DHA, and when paired with the minerals in nori and the dietary fiber in corn, it offers a balanced nutritional profile. The preparation is very simple and beginner-friendly; the actual cooking time takes only about 5 minutes, plus the rice cooking time, so you can enjoy it in about 40 minutes total.

Calculation:
- Katsuobushi Nori flakes: 20g

Note: If using the Xiaomi small rice cooker to cook Northeast rice, the water level just needs to cover the rice by 3 millimeters; if there is too much water, the rice will turn out mushy rather than flaky.
