Rice Cooker Sweet Potato Rice

Why you'll love this recipe

• It’s a healthy, high-fiber upgrade to plain white rice that adds natural sweetness and a beautiful orange hue.
• This is a "set it and forget it" recipe that uses the rice cooker to do all the heavy lifting.
• It’s a great way to sneak more vegetables into a meal while adding a comforting, creamy texture to the rice.

Key Ingredients

• Sweet Potatoes: They steam perfectly alongside the rice, becoming soft enough to mash into a "risotto-like" consistency.
• Jasmine Rice: The fragrance of the rice pairs beautifully with the earthy sweetness of the potatoes.
• Water: Using the standard rice-to-water ratio is all you need; the potatoes steam in the residual heat.

✅Quick Tips: Cut your sweet potato into large chunks rather than small cubes; this prevents them from disappearing into the rice and keeps them fluffy.

Key Steps

• #1: Wash your rice once to remove excess starch, ensuring the final dish isn't too gummy.

• #2: Place the large sweet potato chunks directly on top of the rice before starting the cooker.
