How to make Simple Jollof Rice
Brenda Njemanze @grubskitchen
There are many different ways to cook Jollof Rice. It is a dish made with rice, tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, scotch bonnet, bell peppers aka tatashe, salt, and bay leaf and vegetable oil. If it doesn't have the above mentioned ingredients, then it's not true Jollof 😀. The perfect Nigeria Jollof is done over fire wood; where the smokey flavor is infused into the Rice.

A taste of traditional Chicken Soup with Rice
This is soup season with the cold coming in strong what better comfort food to have than soup. So many different recipes for Chicken soup, I find it so difficult to choose which one is or could be my favorite.This soup is so different from the others because I have tweaked it slightly so by adding bay leaf, and I have not added any vegetables because I wanted the taste from the bay leaf to stand out from the rest of the ingredients. I hope you enjoy

Easy Heart-Shaped Rice Omelette Made In A Rice Cooker
This rice omelette is easy to make but filled with love. There's no need to stir fry the rice, but it still tastes like it's all been sautéed together.If you add the seasoning ingredients to the rice at the very start, it won't absorb as much moisture as it should, so add them after the rice has soaked enough in water. The bell peppers will discolor if you add them early, so mix them in after the rice is cooked when it's entered the keep-warm stage.For the thin omelette (usuyaki tamago), please refer to the tips in. For 2 servings. Recipe by vegeful

How To Make Sushi Rice for Chirashi Sushi
This is a recipe I adapted from various cookbooks, TV cooking shows, and what I've learned from my mother.Cook the rice with konbu seaweed dashi stock to increase its umami and make it more delicious.When cooking the rice, you usually put in the konbu seaweed, switch the cooker on and take the konbu seaweed out during the cooking process. However, our rice cooker is the type that can't be opened halfway through, so I usually cook the rice with water that a piece of konbu seaweed has been soaking in for half a day. Recipe by @cotton

Easy to Make Ohagi (Rice Cakes)
My daughter loves mochi and dumplings.Steaming ready-made cut rice cakes with regular white rice gives it a chewy texture. It's just like using glutenous rice.Steaming the rice to a softer consistency than usual makes it easy to mash and will come out nice and chewy!If you plan to prepare the rice cakes early in advance, adding a bit of sugar (about 1 teaspoon) in Step 3 helps keep the rice moist. For 12 small rice cakes. Recipe by Mikko*mikko

Easy to Make at Home - Yakiniku Rice Burger
You can make it really quickly if you use thinly sliced meat. It's really easy and you only need one frying pan.I added a shiso leaf because it gave it that home-cooked deliciousness right from my kitchen!● Make sure you shape the rice firmly and tightly!● If you marinade the cooked meat in sauce, it will prevent the oil from spitting (when you put them in the frying pan) and at the same time, you can cook the fried egg.● Putting a pick through the middle of the burger or wrapping it will make it easier to eat and and prevent it from crumbling or making a mess! For 1 serving. Recipe by Emimafin

How to Make Rice in a Frying Pan
A long time ago when I was living on my own, I never really ate rice so I didn't own a rice cooker. It wasn't a problem, but when I started living with my boyfriend, he kept badgering me because he wanted to have rice.My mother told me that rice can be cooked in a frying pan, so she taught me how and when I tried making it, it was really easy. My boyfriend thinks cooking it this way is better than when it's cooked in a rice cooker.My co-workers are always surprised by how I make rice, which is why I decided to upload the steps.The cooking time is approximate, so the amounts and cooking temperature may vary. Peek at the rice. If the liquid has evaporated and the rice is plump, it's done. Since there isn't a lot of rice, it will probably burn easily. I usually use 3 rice cups and cook for around 5 minutes on low heat. Recipe by saki1010
