Easy to cook Tomato Rice

-

Recipe for tomato rice:


A. The base for tomato rice
2 tsps olive oil (I actually used canola oil since I didn't have olive oil)
2 tsps black pepper (Or more if u like black pepper)
1 fully ripe tomato (not those small tomatoes)
2 cups of Thailand Rice Grains (The number of cups varied on your needs. 2 cups of rice can actually serves 4-5 person. I've tried both Thailand long-grain Rice and Japanese short gain Rice and still turns out well)
2 cups of water (the usual volume that you need for cooking your rice)

B. Optional Ingredients
Shitake/Chinese Mushroom - sliced
Ham - sliced/diced
Corn - remove corn from cob
Carrot - sliced/diced
Broccoli -  Removed the leaves and cut into smaller stalks

Steps

1. Prepare the portion under B. Optional Ingredients

2. Prepare the rice as you usually does... Wash it and fill up with the usual amount of water.

3. Scoop/Cut off the top of tomato where the brown color portion.



4. Place the tomato in the centre of your rice pot, with the top of the tomato facing downwards.


5. Add in olive oil and black pepper.

6. Place the optional ingredients into the rice pot.



7. Put the rice into your rice cooker and cook as usual

8. Once cooked, the tomato will be soft. Using your rice ladle, press the tomato down and mixed till all rice grain are looks completely mixed with the tomato and ingredients.




Side Notes

I saw this recipe after signing up a Facebook group and it seemed easy. Tried it out once and now I am all into this recipe. The optional ingredients varies. I have tried with french beans, sausages, hotdogs, Enokitake, Chinese fish cakes etc.

French beans and enokitake turned brown after a few reheat so better not reheat too many times.

Sausages and hams lost much of it's original taste so I still prefer using hot dogs. Alternatively, if the sausage/ham you are using is already cooked, then don't add them in (at step 6). Wait till at step 8 then add in to the cooked rice and mixed well. Keep the rice cooker in the warm mode to heat up the sausage/ham.

Till date, I still prefer using broccoli, corn, carrot. Planning to try chinese dried mushroom and chinese sausage. Will update again once I tried.
