Rice Cooker “Fried Rice”

Steamed Chicken Fried Rice and Quinoa

I am thrilled to announce that I have re-invented my family fried rice recipe. Fried rice is an all time family favorite here. It is right up there with my spaghetti bolognese in terms of a crowd pleaser.

You can find our regular fried rice recipe at Childhood 101. It is also one of the recipes in my e-book Family Food – The Dinner Edition.

My re-invention of fried rice includes:

If you are a regular reader, you may have noticed that I tend to go off on tangents (or themes) that I am interested in. This Winter I have been obsessing with Italian food after our trip to Italy. I have also documented a number of my favorite slow cooker recipes that I created using the slow cooker gifted to me by my mum.

This is another of those tangent recipes – The lovely people at Kambrook sent me a Rice Cooker that includes a steamer. In true Kyrstie form I have been testing it out non stop. Now I am sharing some of my favorite meals made with it with you. I started off with this Rice Cooker Risotto.

With the exception of the egg, this meal was cooked entirely in the rice cooker – which in hindsight I could have done first and then set it aside until required…I love that you can cook ingredients in the pot prior to adding the rice, which it then automatically cooks.

*This recipe is based on this machine. Verify your rice cooker has these functions or adapt process and timing as required.

What are your favorite fried rice ingredients? Have you tried cooking it in the rice cooker?

*I was not paid, or required by Kambrook to write this post. As mention, I was gifted the rice cooker. Opinions are my own and based on my experience of using the machine.

I love this idea! I often cook a rice risotto in the rice cooker but have not thought to go this extent with vegies and chicken as well as quinoa. Just wonderful and I love your photographs
