RICE COOKER COOKBOOK

Dear Reader,

When I first moved to the United States in 2006 I was easily excited by an omelet breakfast, a pasta lunch, and a burger dinner. However, the exhilaration for such food did not last long. Perhaps because I was raised in a culture where rice is common for dinner, lunch, and even breakfast, or perhaps because my taste buds have been stubbornly implanted with something called “familiarity,” I started looking back to my comfort staple: rice.

I was lucky to be living in California, where the rice cuisine is flourishing due to the diversity in culture. So what was missing? Home-cooked food! No matter how enticing dining out is, and how convenient takeouts are, we crave simple and non-greasy home-cooked food, something we are familiar and comfortable with. And if those nutritious and healthy meals do not take too much time to prepare and cook, even better.

Enter the rice cooker. The rice cooker is a popular convenience tool found in many Asian homes, and it is steadily finding its way into more American homes. You have to explore this lean, mean machine to know what it is capable of, and trust me, it is not as intimidating as it may seem. Before you know it, the rice cooker will be an additional helper in your kitchen. Enjoy this journey.
