• Uncooked Rice: 150g (5.3 oz)

• Chicken: 130g (4.6 oz)

• Corn: 60g (2.1 oz) [Drained from a can]

• Chopped Green Onions: 10g (0.35 oz) [For topping]

Chicken Marinade:

• Miso: 1 tsp

• Mirin: 1 tsp

• Salt: A dash

Cooking Liquid (for Rice Cooker):

• Water: 200ml (0.85 cup)

• Miso: 2 tsp

• Soy Sauce: 1 tsp

• Mirin: 1 tbsp

• Sake (Cooking Sake): 1 tbsp

Instructions

1. Wash the Rice
   Wash the rice with water several times until the water becomes relatively clear. Transfer the rice to a sieve and drain the water completely.

2. Prep the Chicken
   Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place the chicken in a bowl and rub in the Chicken Marinade ingredients (miso, mirin, salt, and grated garlic) thoroughly.

3. Combine in Rice Cooker
   Place the drained rice into the rice cooker bowl. Add all the Cooking Liquid ingredients (water, miso, soy sauce, mirin, and sake) and mix well to dissolve the miso.

4. Add Toppings
   Place the marinated chicken (add the sauce from the bowl as well) and the corn on top of the rice. Spread them out flat so they cook evenly.

5. Cook
   Turn on the rice cooker using the regular white rice setting.

6. Serve
   Once cooked, fluff the rice to mix the chicken and corn evenly. Serve in a bowl and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Enjoy!
