- Fresh corn1 ear
- ★Sake (or mirin)1 tbsp
- ★Salt1.5 tsp
Directions
45 min- 1
Rinse the rice well and add slightly less water than usual for cooking.
- 2
Add the ★ seasonings and mix evenly throughout the rice.
- 3
Hold the corn cob upright and cut the kernels off with a knife, working in rows. Break the cob in half if needed for easier handling.
- 4
Place the rinsed rice in the rice cooker pot, then arrange the corn kernels and cob pieces on top. Turn on the rice cooker.
- 5
Once cooked, remove the corn cob and gently fluff the rice with a fork.
- 6
Keep the salt amount modest to let the corn's natural sweetness shine. After savoring the sweet rice, try drizzling it with butter soy sauce for an extra treat.
- 7
Form into onigiri (rice balls), brush with soy sauce, and pan-fry until golden for an even more delicious result.
Tips
The corn cob is packed with sweetness, so be sure to cook it together with the rice. Since corn releases moisture, use slightly less water for the best texture. Removing the kernels by hand rather than a knife will help bring out the sweetness even more.
