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

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the mochi rice, and soak in water for 3 ~ 4 hours.
- 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
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
Sprinkle sesame seed salt (gomashio) before eating, and it's done!
- 5
If you don't have mochi rice, you can substitute regular white rice. It will be quite delicious regardless.

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 cookpad.japan -

Soft Milk Mochi With Rice Bran Soft Milk Mochi With Rice Bran
I love milk mochi, so I made this variation using rice bran. Incidentally, you can get the same amount of vitamin B in 2 teaspoons of rice bran, as you can from 1 bowl of brown rice. This is a perfect way to include some rice bran in your diet. It was also popular with the kids.I recommend this for rice bran novices, as you can't really taste it after the mochi has been coated with kinako and brown sugar. Now, there is no vitamin C in rice bran, so it would be even better if you add matcha or green barley, or serve it with some fruit. Recipe by miyuki12 cookpad.japan -
Okara Mochi with Rice Bran Okara Mochi with Rice Bran
I'm creating easy-to-make recipes using rice bran, which is rich in vitamin B. Okara mochi is less floury than rice bran, and it hides the distinctive aroma of the rice bran, so these can be enjoyed even by those who don't like rice bran. Serve them as a small snack or for dessert.Adding sake midway through the process eliminates the smell of the rice bran. Adjust the cooking time depending on your microwave with the time indicated in the recipe as a reference. Try using rice bran powder, if you prefer. Feel free to also adjust the ratio of ingredients.

Easy Sakura Mochi (Cherry Blossom Rice Cake) from Cooked Rice Easy Sakura Mochi (Cherry Blossom Rice Cake) from Cooked Rice
I have learned how to make sakura mochi, but I didn't have rice flour, domyoji flour, or a cherry blossom leaf...I wanted to make a sakura mochi easily, so I came up with this recipe.-A little amount of the red food colouring is enough to turn the rice pink, so don't add too much. If you add too much, the rice turns red.-A pinch of salt gives the rice a salty kick, and it will taste like the authentic sakura mochi. If you don't have the salted cherry blossom leaf, add little more salt in the rice to adjust the taste. I taste the mixture at the Step 3, and adjust the taste to my liking.
