It’s fascinating how rice cookers have evolved over the years, becoming multifunctional and incredibly easy to use. I never owned a rice cooker until recently, and I’m amazed at how versatile they are. Today, I’ll be making an easy Cured Meat Rice using the Panasonic Rice Cooker SR-JMY188. This simple and delicious dinner will be ready in no time.

What is Cured Meat Rice?

Cured Meat Rice is typically a sticky rice dish cooked in a clay pot, featuring Chinese cured meat, dried shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimps, dried scallops, and more. These ingredients are readily available in Asian supermarkets. I’ll also provide information on where I purchased the ingredients below in the recipe. Chinese cured meat can come in various forms such as pork, chicken, duck, or even fish, with Chinese sausages being the most common.

A Family Favorite Recipe

Today, I’m sharing a recipe created by my mom, which happens to be my favorite rice dish. Unlike the traditional version, my mom uses white rice in this recipe, making it a healthier option compared to sticky rice. This allows us to enjoy it guilt-free. The ingredients added make the dish incredibly flavorful and aromatic.
