Electric Rice Cooker Claypot-Style Rice — Home-styleShanghai home cooking.

Ingredients

• short-grain rice
• boneless pork shoulder, thinly sliced
• dried shiitake mushrooms, rehydrated & sliced
• light soy sauce
• Shaoxing wine
• scallions, finely chopped

Instructions

1. Rinse rice thoroughly and drain. Place in rice cooker inner pot. Add reserved shiitake soaking liquid and enough water to reach 1 cm above rice surface (approx. 360 ml total liquid).
2. Marinate pork slices with light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and ½ tsp white pepper for 10 minutes.
3. Arrange marinated pork and shiitake slices evenly over rice. Do NOT stir.
4. Close lid and cook on standard ‘white rice’ cycle. When cycle ends, let steam rest 15 minutes without opening. (Steam condensing heavily on inner lid; rice grains plump and glistening)
5. Fluff rice gently with chopsticks, mixing in top layer. Garnish with scallions.
