Steps

1

Shell the green peas and boil them in salted water (1/2 teaspoon salt, enough to fully cover the peas) for about 4–5 minutes.
2

Taste a pea to check if it's cooked to your liking, then remove from heat and let them cool in the cooking water. This prevents wrinkles on the peas.
3

Wash the rice and drain it. Once the peas have cooled, add the rice and 200ml of the pea cooking water to a rice cooker, then add enough water to reach the required level.
4

Add the kombu and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the rice cooker and start cooking. Keep the peas in the remaining cooking water until the rice is done.
5

Once the rice is cooked, remove the kombu, drain the peas, and gently mix them into the rice. Be careful not to crush the peas.
6

Your fluffy pea rice is ready!

I tried this with frozen green peas, and they turned out plump as well.
