Easy One-Pot Tomato Rice Recipe!
Ever feel like cooking and you try to look for something that is easy to follow, delicious and healthy at the same time?
Say no more! This is one of my favorite recipe back when I was in university. Rice is a staple food from where I came from, one day I stumbled across a recipe that calls for tomato to be added together with the rice in the rice cooker, I tried making the recipe by adding some vegetables and proteins and I fell in love with it ever since!
The idea of cooking everything inside a pot is just amazing, it is efficient, easy, and you don't have to end up with a lot of pots and dishes to wash!!!
You can add in ingredients of your choice to give it a little bit of twist, I hope that you will love this recipe as much as I do!

Step 1
Washing and soaking the rice
Wash the rice and drain the water to remove any excessive starch, rinse and repeat for about three times or until the water runs clear.
Place the rice into the rice cooking pot and top up with 3 cups of water, season with salt and pepper to taste and let it soak while you prepare other ingredients.
Step 2
Prepare the chicken breast
Chop the chicken breast into bite-size pieces, and marinate with soy sauce, olive oil and seasonings for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Cutting up the vegetables
Dice the carrots and onions, slice the sausage and trim the mushroom and place them into a small plate, reserve for use.
Step 4
Putting it all together
Layer the vegetables and proteins on top of the rice and add in half a can of diced tomato on top.
Drizzle some olive oil and add a knob of butter on top.
Select "Rice" setting and allow to cook for around 35 minutes or until done.
Step 5
Voilà!
Once the cooking is done, open the rice cooker and mix it well with your spatula to fluff up the rice. And there you have it!
Step 6
Serving suggestion
If you want to elevate this dish to a whole new level, you can add an "Onsen" egg in the middle of the rice. The runny yolk will bring everything together to give it a smooth and creamy texture!
