This easy Corn Butter Rice recipe made in the rice cooker is one of my favorite type of mixed rice!
What is Takikomi Gohan?
Takikomi Gohan are Japanese mixed rice dishes where the ingredients are often cooked along with the rice. The rice can be made in a traditional donabe or in an electric rice cooker.
The trend of Rice Cooker Meals
Recently on social media, rice cooker meals have been taking over. These are dishes or meals that are similar (or the same) as takikomi gohan as all the ingredients are placed into the rice cooker with the uncooked rice and then cooked together.
These dishes make for easy meals and easy cleanup since they are all in one pot.
