One Pot Rice Cooker Meal

This is a super easy and hearty One-Pot Rice Cooker Meal you can make with your rice cooker! It’s a great way to pack in those vegetables and protein and also use up any produce you have left. You’re free to use any vegetables or protein of your choice to make this.

One Pot Rice Cooker Meal

THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS RICE COOKER MEAL

Growing up we cooked full rice meals such as this in our rice cookers. We cook Kiam Peng, a Fukien dish meaning salty rice (kiam = salty, peng = rice) in our rice cooker. Kiam Peng isn’t actually that salty but it does have a hint of saltiness from the soy sauce. This rice cooker meal is heavily inspired by that.

I wanted to add some veggies and protein to make this a complete hearty meal that I could just leave in the rice cooker and let it do its thing!

RICE TO WATER RATIO

I used short grain or sushi rice for this recipe. You’re free to use medium or long grain white rice too! The rice to water ratio is 1:1 for white rice. For brown rice and black rice, I usually double mine to 2:1 for the water to rice ratio since these types of rice usually requite more water to cook.

HOW TO MAKE THIS

  • Wash your rice 2-3 times until the water starts to run clearer. Drain excess water.
  • In the rice cooker pot, add the rice, soy sauces, sugar (if using), sesame oil, veg. oyster sauce, and water. Mix well.
  • Add your vegetables and protein over the rice. Cover your rice cook and set to cook.
  • Once cooked, mix everything together. Feel free to season with more soy sauce to taste, if needed. Serve your rice with some sesame seeds and chili sauce/chili oil of choice. Enjoy!

MIX AND ENJOY YOUR RICE!

Feel free to season with more soy sauce to taste, if needed. Serve your rice with some sesame seeds and chili sauce/chili oil of choice. I had mine with my homemade garlic chilli oil (recipe here)

I also stuffed some of my rice into a bowl and flipped it over to create this dome shape!

    This is a great recipe!! For veggies I used edamame, corn, carrot, criminals mushrooms and garlic. I made mine in the instant pot with a cook time of 5 minutes and then 15 minutes of pressure release. Highly recommend overall!!

    I made this recipe with sushi rice, carrots, hot dogs, yellow bell peppers, and oyster mushrooms in my instant pot and it was just perfection. 10/10

      Yay! Glad you liked it ◡̈ and thanks for the review

    What rice cooker do you use? The little one we have finally gave up, so time to get a new one.
    Thanks for all you do, Debi

    1. Jeeca 3 Jun 2022 Reply

      Hi Debi! The one I used for this is actually from a local Filipino brand called Tough Mama. I also have a Panasonic one that’s been around for years and it still works great. I have basic rice cookers without any of those fancy buttons and really happy with them. ◡̈

      I wouldn’t consider this to have any protein… highly recommend being cognitive of the daily recommend protein intake and consider that the amino acid profile of vegan protein is about half that of normal protein.

    Followed to a tee and it was simply delicious!!!

    Great recipe! I used firm tofu I stead of vegan ham and garden peas instead of carrots. It was delicious and obviously easy to cook 😊

    1. Jeeca 7 Jun 2022 Reply

      Great idea to use tofu and peas instead!! And happy you liked it ◡̈

  7. Matea 15 Jun 2022 Reply

    Hi, how big or small of a rice cooker do You use, 1L or?

    1. Jeeca 16 Jun 2022 Reply

      Hi Matea, if I’m not mistaken mine is a 1.5 L rice cooker. ◡̈

  8. gage 22 Jul 2022 Reply

    Can I use frozen veg or should I cook before

    1. Jeeca 26 Jul 2022 Reply

      Frozen vegetables would work perfectly! Though do note that they might contain a bit more water compared to fresh ones so you can slightly lessen the water if you’re adding a lot. Hope this helps! ◡̈

    What kind of vegan ham do you use?

    1. Jeeca 9 Aug 2022 Reply

      Hi Caitlin! I tried this veg soy roll from a Taiwanese brand I got at a local store actually. There may be similar ones in local Asian stores if you have one in your area ◡̈
