Using a multi rice cooker to simmer rice

If you want to eat fried rice but don't want to spend all summer in the kitchen, let the multi rice cooker simmer rice for you, because raw meat is used, so the ingredients are processed in advance.

• The first step is to wash and soak the dried shiitake mushrooms. Don't pour out the water used for soaking mushrooms, it will be useful later. Cut the carrots into small pieces and dice the shiitake mushrooms. Cut the onion into small pieces and the beef steak into small pieces after it has thawed.

• The second step is to first fry the beef steak with butter until the surface changes color. Add all the ingredients, add two tablespoons of soy sauce, one tablespoon of dark soy sauce, one tablespoon of oyster sauce, a small teaspoon of salt and black pepper, quickly stir-fry a few times and then remove from the pot (just give all the ingredients a quick stir-fry, don't stir-fry for a long time, the beef steak will be tough).

• The third step is to first put the rice in the multi rice cooker, then pour in the stir-fried ingredients, add slightly less water than usual, and you can also use the water used to soak the shiitake mushrooms to add some aroma to the rice. Use the rice steaming mode as usual, and let the multi rice cooker do the rest. After it’s done, sprinkle some chopped scallions, stir a bit, and you can eat it. The rice is also very delicious, enough for the whole family in a large pot.

Cooking tips for using a multi rice cooker to simmer rice: since you can't see the water level, you need to rely on your intuition. The water should be slightly less than usual. Too much water will result in a pot of porridge because the ingredients will release some moisture. Those with kitchen scales can weigh it accurately. Compared to cooking fried rice, this saves some labor and is worth a try, especially during summer when you don’t have to be in front of the stove all the time.
