Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Wash the rice, place it in the rice cooker inner pot, and drain the water thoroughly.

    Advice : Draining the water thoroughly after washing ensures that the total liquid amount is accurate once the seasonings are added.

    Ingredients
    Rice 2 cups
  2. 2

    Husk the corn and cut it in half crosswise. Stand it upright on the cutting board and use a knife to shave off the kernels. Do not discard the cob as it will be used later.

    Advice : Shaving close to the cob helps release more sweetness, but be careful not to cut your hands.

    Ingredients
    Corn 1 ear
  3. 3

    Add sake and salt to the inner pot, then pour in water up to the 2-cup line and stir lightly.

    Advice : Adding seasonings before the water ensures the flavor is even and prevents underestimating the liquid needed.

    Ingredients
    Sake 1 tbsp
    Salt 1 tsp
    Water 385ml
  4. 4

    Spread the corn kernels over the rice, then place the cob on top. Cook using the normal rice cooking mode for 50 minutes.

    Advice : The secret to fluffy rice is simply placing the kernels on top without mixing them in. The umami from the cob will soak into the rice.

    Once cooked, remove the cob, add butter and soy sauce, and toss everything together gently.

    Advice : Adding the butter while the rice is piping hot helps the aroma spread instantly. You're lucky if you find some crispy rice at the bottom!

    Ingredients
    Butter 10g
    Soy sauce 1 tsp
