Rice Cooker Tomato Rice Recipe. 

Ingredients : 

1 cup of rice 

1 big tomatoes 

1 tbsp olive oil 

2 slices of bacon / ham 

1/4 tsp Black pepper 

1/4 tsp salt / to taste. 

10g of butter - added on 20 Nov 2014. It gives the rice a richer taste.

Preparation Steps : 

1. Wash rice, add the same amount of water that you'll usually used to cook a cup of rice. Take out 1 tbsp of water. When tomato is cooked it will produced some juice.

2. Cut the slices of bacon into thin stripes .

3. Add in seasoning & bacon to the rice & give a good stir. 

4. Cut the tomatoes at the top. Just like below. 

5. Place in the middle of the rice. 

6. Close the lid & start cooking the rice as you normally would. 

7. Once cooked, smash the tomatoes. 

8. Mix smashed tomatoes with cooked rice.

9. Served with fresh lettuce & fried eggs!

10. Voilà! Lunch is served! 

Bon appétit. 

Chin's note:

1. Prepare your omelettes while waiting for the rice to cook. ;) 

2. Serve hot with sambal chillie. 

3. I yet to try with French beans / corns to make the rice more complete. 

4. The link to the recipe that my sister shared: http://www.life.com.tw/?app=view&no=191213

5. 15 Nov 2014 - if you wish to use fresh mushrooms , they will release water during the cooking process. Do adjust the water level of your rice accordily. Same goes with other ingredients which will release water during the cooking process. 

6. 20 Nov 2014 - taste great with a slightly salty dish, Baked Chicken Breast Meat.

Variations of ingredients used:

20 Nov 2014 - Sweet corns, french beans,  olive oil, salt and pepper, a piece of butter (about 10g). I find that with added butter, it gives the rice a richer taste.
