Sweet and savoury, this Japanese Corn Rice recipe is a simple but delicious side dish. Made with only a handful of ingredients, this rice recipe comes together quickly and easily. While amazing with fresh summer corn, this recipe can be made and enjoyed year-round!

Japanese Corn Rice

360 mL jasmine rice (2 rice cooker cups)

water

mirin

tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)

salt

corn (fresh, canned,

butter

Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. Then add the rice to a donabe or Dutch oven. Add the water, mirin, and soy sauce.

Place the corn on top in an even layer, do not stir.

Place the lid on top and cook the rice on medium heat for 8 minutes then lower to low heat for 15 minutes. Then, turn off the heat and let the rice rest for 10 minutes before opening the lid and adding butter on top.

Fluff the rice and give it a good mix so the butter is distributed throughout. Add more if desired.

Serve immediately.

Hot buttered corn rice

unsalted butter (, divided)

garlic

corn ((no need corn

tsp cooking salt / kosher salt

pepper

long grain rice (, uncooked, not rinsed (Note 2))

chicken

onion

Sauté - Melt half the butter in a pot over high heat. Add the garlic and stir for 15 seconds. Add the corn and half the salt. Stir for 2 minutes.

Bring to simmer - Add the rice and stir for 30 seconds. Add the stock and remaining salt. Stir, bring to a simmer (make sure the whole surface is bubbling/ripplling), then put the lid on and turn the heat down to medium low (or low, if your stove is strong). (Note 3)

Cook for 12 minutes (no peeking, no stirring!). The liquid should be absorbed by now - tilt the pot and take a quick peek to check.

Rest 10 minutes - Remove the pot from the stove and let it rest for 10 minutes with the lid on. This step is key, do not skip it! (Note 4)

Toss - Lift the lid, add the remaining butter, fluff the rice to melt the butter through. Add green onion and toss through.

Tumble into serving bowl. Serve hot!
