[Farmhouse Recipe] Chestnut Rice

This is actually my standard recipe to make mixed vegetable rice, but the same steps are involved in preparing chestnut rice.
How to peel chestnuts: If you don't have special chestnut-peeling scissors, soak them to soften the hard skin before peeling. Put raw chestnuts into boiling water and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Turn the heat off, and let the water cool down to about body temperature. Then, use a knife to peel the nuts. Take care to soak the peeled nuts in water to avoid discoloring. Recipe by FarmersK

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the rice well and put into the rice cooker. Add cooking sake first, then add water so that the total amount is adequate for 3 rice cooker cups (approximately 540 ml uncooked rice). Add the salt and stir lightly.
- 2
Remove both the outer and inner skin from the chestnuts and add to the rice. Cook as you normally do.
- 3
After it's cooked, give it a gentle stir and place on the lid again for a short while to let the steam soften up the chestnuts in one last step. Take care to stir softly, otherwise the chestnuts will fall apart.

There's a special kind of scissors to remove both the hard and soft skin of chestnuts at once. This makes the peeling process much easier.
