Rice Cooker Rice Pilaf

Rice Cooker Rice Pilaf is a rice dish that takes little time to prepare and no effort to cook. All you need to do is to cut up some vegetables and put everything in a rice cooker.

Ingredients · Servings 4
  • 2 cups short grain rice ((1 rice cooker cup = 180ml))
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1/3-1/2 carrot
  • 2 cups chicken broth ((approximate, adjust if necessary))
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 12 frozen shrimp ((peeled, deveined, tail-off))
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp parsley (chopped)
Method
  1. Wash rice and set aside in a strainer. Dice finely the onion and carrot.
  2. Add the rice in a rice cooker bowl and pour the chicken broth to the 2 cup line on the inner side of the bowl. Add salt and pepper and mix.
  3. Add the onion, carrot, and shrimp on top of the rice. Cook in the rice cooker (in white rice or mixed rice setting.)
  4. When the rice is cooked, mix in butter and chopped parsley.

In this recipe, frozen, peeled, deveined, and tail-off shrimp was used without being defrosted. Onion and carrot are not even sauteed in a frying pan before cooked with rice. The point of this recipe is being easy! This is a perfect dish to cook on a busy day.
