1. Buy a net of chestnuts.
2. Choose twenty good shaped chestnuts.
3. Cut open the shells, then peel the skin with a small knife.
Take your time, be careful not to cut yourself.
Peeling uncooked chestnuts is laborious.
If you soak chestnuts in hot water for about 30 minutes before peeling them, it'll be easier but you lose the flavor a little.
4. Cut them in pieces, then put them in a rice cooker with chestnuts.
5. Start the rice cooker.
6. When rice is cooked, let the rice steam for about ten minutes before opening the lid.
Ingredients:
20 pieces small chestnuts
3 cups Japanese rice
1 teaspoon soy sauce or 1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon mirin or sake
3 cups water

ReplyDeleteIf there is this manual, I can make it, perhaps.
I'll try that ! Although , it's too late to use the chestnuts from the back of my garden. I'll have to buy them. Thanks for the recipe !
