Chestnut Rice Made with Mochi Rice (Okowa) Made in a Rice Cooker

We received a lot of chestnuts as a gift, and this is the first thing I wanted to make with them!

Cooking okowa rice takes a bit of effort, but if you just do it in a rice cooker, it's easy.

Chestnut rice is something you want to eat at least once every fall.
I made okowa because I had mochi (sweet) rice on hand, but you can make chestnut rice with regular Japanese-stylel rice as well.
Since it's cooked in a rice cooker, you can make this easily at any time! Recipe by Nori mama 1109

Ingredients

3 servings
  1. 15Chestnuts
  2. 110 cm square piece Kombu
  3. 540 mlUncooked mochi (sweet or short-grain) rice
  4. 4 tbspSake
  5. 1 tspSalt
  6. 1Sesame seed salt (gomashio)
  7. 650 mlWater

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the mochi rice, and soak in water for 3 ~ 4 hours.

  2. 2

    Remove the outer shells and inner skins of the chestnuts. This is how I do it: Boil the chestnuts for about 3 minutes, and soak in hot water for about 10 minutes. This makes the chestnuts easier to peel.

  3. 3

    Add mochi rice, konbu seaweed, sake, and salt. Add the usual amount of water for 3 rice cooker cups. Finally put in the chestnuts, then start cooking. (It might be better to add a tiny bit less water than usual.)

  4. 4

    Sprinkle sesame seed salt (gomashio) before eating, and it's done!

  5. 5

    If you don't have mochi rice, you can substitute regular white rice. It will be quite delicious regardless.
