Sekihan Made in a Rice Cooker
I made this for my son's okuizome (weaning ceremony)
Since I didn't have a large steamer, my mom taught me how to cook sekihan using the rice cooker.
It turned out to be great, so I decided to post this recipe for future reference.
By exposing the boiled water (that the adzuki beans were boiled in) to air, this will promote oxidization and the red color of the sekihan will be more vibrant.
After pouring the boiled water into the rice cooker until it reaches the 3-cup line for okowa, you should still have some leftover boiled water! Instead of adding all of the boiled water to the rice cooker, adjust the amount until it hits the 3-cup line. Recipe by YUKI0611

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the mochi rice and drain the excess water in a sieve.
- 2
Place the washed adzuki beans in a pot, pour water until the beans are covered completely, and turn on the heat (there's no need to soak the adzuki beans beforehand, start cooking the beans as-is).
- 3
Once the water comes to a boil, cook them for 2-3 minutes, and strain to get rid of the scum.
- 4
Return the adzuki beans to the pot, add 800 ml of fresh water, and turn on the heat. When it comes to a boil, turn down the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
- 5
Once the adzuki beans become tender enough that they can be easily crushed between your fingers, separate the adzuki beans from the water they were boiled in.
- 6
Cover the adzuki beans with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
- 7
Expose the boiled water (that the adzuki beans were boiled in) to air and promote oxidization by scooping up the water with a ladle and pouring it back into the bowl from a high place.
- 8
When the boiled water cools down, put the glutinous rice in the rice cooker, and pour in the boiled water until it reaches the 3-cup line for okowa. Add salt and the adzuki beans and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
- 9
Once it's finished cooking, loosen up the rice and mix well. Serve it up with black sesame seeds and salt (gomashio) on top.

Easy Sekihan in a Rice Cooker Easy Sekihan in a Rice Cooker
Sekihan rice is an essential part of family birthdays or celebrations. Making it with glutinous rice makes it really chewy and delicious, but adding a small amount of white rice reduces any stickiness and also keeps the glutinous texture. It was so delicious that it became our family's regular dish.Take care not to overcook the adzuki beans. Simmer slowly over low heat, and occasionally add some water.The reason why it's a little over 4 cups on the "okowa" mark, rather than exactly 4 cups, is because there's regular grain rice mixed into the glutinous rice.

Kabocha Rice Made in Rice Cooker Kabocha Rice Made in Rice Cooker
Simple and fragrant. I made this for iftar and kids complained because it smelled sooo good. I used fermented garlic+candlenut. You can replace it with regular oil, but I reckon it won't smell as good. Maybe you can fry some garlic first and use the oil. I use a type of rice with the ratio of 1:1.5 (rice:water) so you might want to adjust to the type of rice that you usually cook.

Adzuki Beans and Rice Steamed in a Rice Cooker Adzuki Beans and Rice Steamed in a Rice Cooker
Making it in a rice cooker instead of a pot is easier, so we prepare rice and adzuki beans this way quite often in my house.Step 4: Depending on the adzuki beans you use, the boiling time required may be more or less, so make sure to monitor the beans while boiling.Step 5: If you use a lot of the adzuki boiling water when making the rice, the rice will be colored. Feel free to add more adzuki beans to the dish if you like.Make a lot of boiled adzuki beans, put the beans and the water they were boiled in in separate resealable bags and freeze to have them ready to go next time.

Made in a Pressure Cooker, No Prep Required, Professional Grade Sekihan in 15 Minutes Made in a Pressure Cooker, No Prep Required, Professional Grade Sekihan in 15 Minutes
A distinct feature of the pressure cooker is that it only takes 1/3 of the cooking time compared to a conventional pot. But when it comes to sekihan, not only does the pressure cooker cut down cooking time, but it also lets you skip the preparation work from the day before. What a surprise! Adding to that, it's foolproof! Amazing, isn't it! This is my family's emergency go-to dish.Basic ratios.white rice: glutinous rice: water: adzuki beans= 2: 3: 4: 0.5.salt: about 3/5 teaspoon (3 ml) per 1 rice cooker cup. When cooking a small amount of sekihan, I recommend measuring out the ingredients in a small container. Since the sekihan will be topped with black sesame seeds & salt, as long as you don't add too much, you don't have to be precise when measuring out the salt. Recipe by Yuukotanaka -

Easy Sakura-mochi using a Rice Cooker Easy Sakura-mochi using a Rice Cooker
This is my mum's way of making these.Take a tiny bit of the food colouring on the tip of a toothpick. Adjust the colour by adding it little by little to create a very pale pink colour. Before cooking the rice, stir well to distribute the colouring evenly. More sugar helps preserve the moistness of the sakura-mochi. Chill the adzuki bean paste in the fridge. It's easier to handle or shape when chilled. Measure exact tablespoons of adzuki bean paste for quick measuring and suitable amounts. Scoop the bean paste with a spoon, wrap it in the mochi rice, then wrap each in a cherry leaf. This should be done in one go. Store the leftover adzuki bean paste in a plastic bag in the freezer; flatten it and score with lines to separate into tablespoon portions. Freeze it until required. Break off only as much as you need. Recipe by happyblessing -

Adzuki & Sesame Seed Japanese Style Cake in the Rice Cooker Adzuki & Sesame Seed Japanese Style Cake in the Rice Cooker
This is the third cake I've tried in the food processor and rice cooker. I thought it would be nice to make a slightly Japanese-tasting cake this time.This recipe just relies on the food processor and rice cooker so it's very simple. You can also use normal canned adzuki beans. Cooking time and number of times you have to switch it back on will vary depending on rice cooker so please check on the cake yourself and decide when the rice cooker needs switching off. Sesame paste can separate so please mix it in thoroughly. Apart from that there are no other tricks, it's just a very easy cake. Recipe by Kaeha -

German Potatoes Made in a Rice Cooker German Potatoes Made in a Rice Cooker
I'm into rice cooker cooking. If you cook potatoes in a rice cooker, the flavors penetrate it well and they come out dense and floury. So I figured German style potatoes would come out well too.Depending on the rice cooker, the liquid in the pan may be gone, and the potatoes may be cooked before the program is up. In that case, switch the cooker off a bit earlier.If you add grainy mustard,it will have a nice sharp refreshing flavor that cuts through the oil. Please try adjusting the amount of mustard to taste.

Chicken Rice in a Rice Cooker Chicken Rice in a Rice Cooker
I love eating chicken breast but worry that it might not have enough fat, so I use the broth from steaming chicken thighs to cook the rice. The steamed chicken can be used to make fried chicken as another dish. As for cilantro, we can use the roots in making pickled lime soup.
