My Hubby loves 9 grain rice. Growing up, he had it for breakfast nearly every morning. Honestly, I doubt I ever heard of it until we were married. Well, every morning before going to work, he has spent time boiling water, adding the 9 grain rice, adding ingredients and stir stir stir until it is done. The other day we had rice and milk for breakfast and thats when he got the idea to put the 9 grain in the rice cooker. So, he tried it.
Sucess! 9 grain rice without having to do constant work- and in only 5 minutes!
What you will need:
rice cooker (ours has a "quick rice" option)
1 cup 9 grain rice (this feeds our family of 3)
enough water to barely cover rice entirely.
sugar
salt
Put the 9 grain rice in the rice cooker. Add water. Add salt and sugar to desired consitancy (you can do this later when 9 grain rice is all cooked). Set the rice cooker to quick rice option.
Enjoy!
Now, the first time we did this, we did the whole amount of water and after the 5 minutes, Hubby thought it looked like it had too much liquid still, so he put it in another 5 minutes. The 9 grain turned out just fine, but was on the slightly mushy side for our families taste. We personally like our 9 grain a little chewy, so the less water, 5 minutes works well for us. just play with it a little until you get what your families preference is.
