Japanese Sweet Potato Rice

Japanese Sweet Potato Rice in bowlIt is sweet potato season and I love it! One of my favourite ways to use up sweet potato is inside this warm and comforting rice dish. It's really easy to make and creates a great side for any entree. I used a rice cooker here but you can use whatever method you usually cook your rice.

Steps:

  1. Place rice in a medium pot or your rice cooker. Pour in water, then lay diced sweet potatoes on top.

  3. If you're using a rice cooker, turn it on and wait until it's done. If using a pot, cover it with a lid, then heat on medium. When water begins to simmer, let cook for 11 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to rest for 15 minutes without removing the lid.

I think I will try this as I always have lots of rice and just love sweet potatoes but never thought of putting the two together.
I do have a question (probably dumb) - why short grain rice?
Thanks,
Betty

Hi Betty! Short grain rice is stickier and works well for this Japanese recipe in particular, but you can use any rice. I like short grain because it holds well together. If you use a longer grain, it won't stick to the sweet potato :)
