  • rice cooker — I have (and recommend) a Zojirushi rice cooker.

Ingredients

  • 2 rice cooker cups calrose rice, rinsed or other white medium grain rice
  • 1/2 cup (packed) diced fresh pineapple
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 green onions, chopped whites and greens separated
  • 1 tsp sea salt or more to taste
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
  • pineapple juice (fresh or canned) Enough to fill the rice cooker to the 2 cup sushi (or white rice) line, once the above ingredients are added.

Instructions

  • Add the rinsed rice to the rice cooker. On top of the rice add the pineapple, cilantro, the whites of the green onions (keep the greens for garnish), salt, and ginger.
  • Fill the rice cooker to the 2 cup sushi rice line (or the white rice line if yours doesn’t have a sushi rice line) with the pineapple juice.
  • Push the button for the sushi/white rice setting and let the rice cooker do its magic.
