The most delicious and easy tomato steamed rice you will ever make! Less than 5 minutes to prepare and the rice cooker will do the rest!
This post is long overdue. We moved into our new home back in March and spent the first week eating out everyday because we were still unpacking. I enjoy eating out most of the time but after one whole week, it was getting a bit costly. I also started craving for something non oily, with less salt, less sugar, healthy, tasty and just simple. Real simple! Which is what this easy tomato steamed rice is all about!
You basically place a tomato into the rice cooker along with the rice, a little seasoning and oil. Then let the rice cooker work it’s magic and relax!
If you’re feeling a little adventurous, you can even add corn, diced carrots, edamame beans, pine nuts or whatever you normally add to fried rice really!
Seriously, ever since I started cooking this easy tomato rice, we like it so much it has become part of our weekly dinner rotation. This tomato rice goes well with the Ginger Vegetable and Tofu Stir Fry, Stir Fry Green Beans or the Eggplant Tofu with Spicy Black Bean Sauce.
So simple, so delicious! Give it a try!
Enjoy!
