It's not much of a recipe, I use the most basic of one button rice cookers, put about a teaspoon of oil on the bottom, six pot stickers, a cup of water, and I switch it on and come back in 20 minutes and magically I have potstickers.

I had to turn it off because I made too much!!! Canola oil on the bottom, ONE handful of kernals (I did two this time and that’s a mistake from being hangry). Held down the button because the weight of the oil and kernals isn’t enough. Turned out perfect!

I recently swapped to Vietnamese long grain rice and no matter how much i wash it, it still does this? Help

I thought of this idea and it ended up working really well. Included pics of most steps in the process.

Onions
Garlic
Mushrooms
Cabbage
Beef
Noodles

Sauce (traditionally includes worcestershire which I don’t have):

1-2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp agave or sugar
Tiny splash of dark soy sauce for color

Before I started I boiled a couple cups of water in the kettle, because I knew I would be adding splashes of water at a few points and I wanted it to be very hot.

I used my 3 cup dry Aroma rice cooker, since it’s easier to take the lid on and off and see what’s happening in the cooker.

Started with a drizzle of neutral oil in the rice cooker and added diced onions (frozen in my case). As long as the lid is on for more weight, the cooker turns on. I left that to cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Had to flip the cooker back on after replacing the lid each time. When the onions were starting to get some color, I added a bit of minced garlic, probably one clove.

After another minute, I added some shaved beef along with a tablespoon of hot water. Let that cook for a couple minutes, stirring once or twice. Then added sliced mushrooms that I had to use up. Another minute or so cooking.

Added in noodles. I did egg noodles because that’s what I had, they come in little nests, and they cook fast. Ramen would also work well. I also added in thinly sliced cabbage in with the noodles. Added maybe 1/3 cup of hot water. It was only submerging the beef and mushrooms at the bottom, not the noodles.

I let that steam for a minute, then stirred after the noodles had softened. Let it cook another couple minutes until the noodles were basically done.

Left the top off the cooker (it could still stay on cook mode at this point) and added the sauce, mixed, and let everything cook another minute or two so the sauce could caramelize a little.

got my little rice cooker a couple of months ago and have been trying to branch out with more than just white rice. Been surprised there’s not a lot of recipes online with rice cooker meals outside of rice/soup, but hoping this sub picks up more! Wanted to use the leftover andouille sausage I had but also did not want to stand by a pan and cook it. Alas - jambalaya.

- package of yellow rice
- three mini bell peppers
- quarter cup of chopped white onion
- three garlic cloves minced
- cup of chicken broth
- about a full can of fire roasted tomatoes
- half package of andouille sausage
- dash (or maybe more?) of salt, pepper, cayenne, Cajun seasoning, garlic and onion powder

rice, broth, seasonings, garlic, and onion go in together
mini bell peppers go in after, kind of placed at the top, with sausage being the final ingredient before turning on le rice cooker.

maybe added too much broth, a smidgen less potentially next time.. but i was super happy with the result ◡̈

recipe based off this one from le google, but i didn’t want to use white rice (and i think yellow rice added more flavor to the pot!)

Just like the title says. I opened my Rice Cooker to find crusty/moldy rice caked all over the interior heating element-found out roommate's friend tried to make rice without the interior bowl/lid and just didn't tell anyone they messed up. Before I try to get them to pay for a new cooker, is there any way to salvage it? I got the rice out of the element, but it looks like some got into the interior of the machine and I'm not sure if I can take it apart to get out the grains that slipped through. I am also guessing that they probably poured water into the bare element as well :(. Is it safe for me to test the cooker to see if it still works? Or is this a lost cause? It is a zojirushi cooker.

Update: not sure if anyone cares, but my roommate did pay me back and I have a new zoji! 🥳

Is it okay to use this or should I get a new one? Asking bcz I read that these coatings can be a health hazard and I have elderly in my home.

Ling-Ling chicken pot stickers steamed in Tacook plate (steam basket) Cooked over rice on Quick mode. I ate mine with Mushrooms and Leeks cooked in avocado oil, Slap Ya Mama spicy Cajun seasoning, and dash of soy sauce.
