Easy Electric Pressure Cooker Recipe for Super Sweet Corn Rice, Simpler Than Corn Pot Rice
Super sweet corn, a fleeting seasonal delight! Unlike regular sticky corn, it’s juicy, incredibly sweet, and delicious even when eaten raw. Making it into rice with an electric pressure cooker is much simpler than traditional pot rice and creates an exceptional dish. The texture of the bursting corn kernels combined with its sweetness is truly delightful. You must try this!
Ingredients- 3 cups short-grain rice
- 1 cup glutinous brown rice
- 4 cups water
- 1 super sweet corn cob
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the short-grain rice and glutinous brown rice. Continue rinsing until the water becomes relatively clear, typically 3-4 times. This washing process ensures a cleaner, more refined rice flavor.
Step 2
Drain the washed rice and glutinous brown rice in a sieve and let them dry for about 20 minutes. This step helps the rice grains cook up fluffy and separate.
Step 3
Prepare the super sweet corn by removing its outer husks and silky threads. Rinse the cob thoroughly under running water.
Step 4
Place the dried rice and glutinous brown rice into the inner pot of your rice cooker. Add 4 cups of water and let the grains soak for about 30 minutes. Soaking allows the rice to absorb moisture evenly, resulting in softer, more tender cooked rice.
Step 5
Now, let’s prepare the super sweet corn for cooking! Cut the corn cob in half and then carefully cut the kernels off the cob. (If the corn is very fresh, the kernels should come off easily.) If it’s difficult to cut them off, you can also slice the kernels directly off the cob with a knife.
Step 6
Add the cut super sweet corn kernels and the cob itself to the rice cooker. Cooking the rice with the corn cob imparts a wonderful corn aroma and deeper flavor into the rice, making it significantly more delicious. Don’t skip this step!
Step 7
Close the lid of the rice cooker with all the ingredients inside. Select the ‘White Rice’ mode and press the ‘Cook’ button. Your electric pressure cooker will take care of the rest, cooking a delicious batch of corn rice.
Step 8
Once the cooking cycle is complete, carefully open the rice cooker lid. Gently remove the corn cob; it will have released a lovely corn fragrance into the rice.
Step 9
Now, use a rice paddle to gently mix the cooked rice with the super sweet corn kernels. Be careful not to mash the kernels; a gentle fold is key to maintaining their texture.
Step 10
Serve the beautifully cooked super sweet corn rice in a bowl. Enjoy this delightful and slightly sweet meal!
