Sweet Potato Rice: The Subtle Sweetness Makes Me Happy!

My mother taught me this recipe, and I adjusted the amounts.
Put the cut up sweet potato in a bowl of water right away, or it will turn black.
Put the sake in the rice cooker with the rice, before filling with water. If you add it after filling up the water to the line, there will be too much liquid.
Even with the sweet potato added, you can use the regular amount of water used to cook 3 rice cooker cups of rice.
I sliced the sweet potato 1.5 cm thick, and then quartered the slices. Recipe by Hamumaki

Japanese Sweet Potato Rice Japanese Sweet Potato Rice
My favorite mixed rice to make in the Autumn season~. It's just a little sweet and so tasty! I think kids will love it too! I like to add some sake to the rice when steaming because I think it gives it a nice smell, but you can leave it out. You can use a rice cooker or a pot on the stove. I like making onigiri with this rice too! Sachiko -

Even if you're using cheap cuts of meat, the sauce will make this an exceptional dish. If you omit the ginger and pork, you'll have a regular pork rice bowl. Adding ginger and garlic makes a gingered pork rice bowl.Only use a thin coat of flour but don't omit it as it's vital for getting the sauce to stick to the meat.If you only have a little meat, add onion slices to bulk the dish.If you cut the amount of sauce in half, you can make regular gingered pork.

Make Overseas Rice Taste Like Shiny, Sweet Japanese Rice! Make Overseas Rice Taste Like Shiny, Sweet Japanese Rice!
The rice question is one that every Japanese expat living overseas has to face I think... (sob)But I refused to be beaten by homesickness caused by food! Even foreign rice is still rice! Depending on the way it's cooked, it's sure to taste good!I had a part time job 4 to 5 years ago in a restaurant kitchen (I did some simple plating and cooking), and I used to get lectured all the time by the chef with a scary face, about how I should serve the rice in the rice bowl gently and softly. He kept on telling me to make a nice gentle mound of rice in the bowl... Recipe by Popotankobu cookpad.japan -
