I NEEDED TO KNOW! LOL.
I see so many cool recipes on TikTok and Instagram these days about using rice cookers, so I really wanted to test this out with some of the Chinese soups I make in a normal pot.
The thinking was to start easy. Simple ingredients. Low ingredient count. Readily accessible stuff. And something that doesn’t need a longer “fire” boil.
And everyone loves ABC soup!
See my verdict below!
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 60 mins (using the softer cook setting)
Total time: 70 mins
Serves: 2-3 bowls
- 10 pieces of cut back ribs
- 1 fresh carrot, sliced
- 1 potato, sliced
- half a fresh corn, sliced
- 3 dried red dates
- 2 dried Chinese yam
- pinch of salt
- your handy dandy rice cooker
- Cut your pork ribs into small pieces
- Peel and slice your 1 carrot into thin slices (half an inch thick)
- Peel and slice your 1 potato into thin slices (half an inch thick)
- Slice half a corn into thin pieces
- In your rice cooker, I put the meats on the bottom and then layer in the vegetables, putting the herbs on top last and then the inch of salt
- Add in enough water to fill to the maximum water line of the rice cooker
- Close and select a cook option that is the longest (ie: softer rice, congee, etc..). Mine was 60 minutes.
- Once done cooking, you can use an oil scooper to remove the excess fat and bone bits. Serve and enjoy!
The verdict!
This was a HUGE YES for me! And I mean, SUCCESS!
I actually brought the whole rice cooker to my parents’ house for the 3 of us to enjoy and they were surprised how easy it was and how delicious it was. Truly, amazing and convenient technology at our fingertips!
