Wild Rice (Rice Cooker)
I prepared this on 26 Jan 2022 and I used my small 1 liter (1 quart) simple 'cook/warm' electric rice cooker. This does take time as there is a lot of liquid. The rice cooker works well and is pretty much hands off cooking.
Equipment
- Rice Cooker
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry, wild rice
- 3½ cups chicken stock, or water
- pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons butter
Instructions
- Rinse the wild rice and place in the rice cooker, add the water, salt, and butter.
- Cover with lid. Set to cooker to Cook.
- Allow cooker to work until it switches to Warm, about 50 minutes or so. Check for tenderness, if still not quite tender, just add another ½ cup of stock or water and set to Cook. When it switches to Warm again, if tender, unplug or turn off the cooker and let the rice sit 10 minutes covered.
- Fluff with a fork, serve as a side dish, enjoy.
Notes
Wild rice is available through Lazada for those in Thailand, at about 650 Baht ($20)/500g (1 lb), this is high cost at about $5 per serving as a side dish but is a great treat once in a while.
