About this recipe

• How to cook corn rice in a pot
• Use Japanese short-grain rice
• Use fresh corn
• Simple recipe with only 3 ingredients
• The cooking time is under 30 minutes.

📋 Ingredients

Here are the ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).

• Japanese short-grain rice: It is a Japanese staple food and very starchy, soft, sticky, and sweet. If you want to know more about Japanese rice, please see: How to cook Japanese short-grain rice on a stove.
• Fresh corn: You can use frozen or canned corn, but I highly recommend using fresh corn when it's in the season.
• Salt: This is the only seasoning. The amount is modest in this recipe, so feel free to add if the taste is light for you.

The ingredients for this dish are simple. Seasonal corn is sweet and tasty, which means that we don't have to add too much seasoning!

🔪Instructions

This recipe is pretty simple. Let's go over how to make it. You can also watch this video.

1. Rinse and soak rice for 30 minutes or more.
2. Cut corn off the cob.
3. Add water and salt.
4. Bring to a boil on medium heat.
5. Place corn on the top.
6. Simmer for 10 minutes on low heat.

At the last, turn off the heat and leave it for another 10 minutes with the lid on. This way the rice absorb the steam inside the pot and become more fluffy.

And when you open the lid, please stir with a spoon from the bottom. Otherwise, rice will get stuck to each other and become hard!

Here you go! What a beautiful summer color rice!

If you have leftovers, please store them in the freezer. They will be just as good a month later! Scoop your single serving and wrap it up with plastic before storing it away for another day's dinner or snack.

Cook in a rice cooker

If you have a rice cooker, it's even easier to make it. After rinsing the rice, add water and salt, stir them, place corn on the top, close and press the cooking button.
