This is one of my favorite fall-to-winter rice dishes since I was a child. This is such a simple dish, as the main ingredients are just the rice and satsuma-imo (Japanese sweet potato), and they are seasoned very lightly only with salt. The natural sweetness of the satsuma-imo is fully brought out after cooked with the rice, and the texture is nicely soft to work great with the shiny chewy rice. When everything is combined and the rice has sunk to the bottom of the saucepan, lay the sweet potato slices evenly along the top.
Instructions to make Japanese Sweet Potato Rice:
- Wash the rice in a fine strainer or bowl until the water is not cloudy anymore. Scrub the dirt off the sweet potato but leave the skin on. Cut the potato into 1 cm round slices.
- Put rice in a medium pot or your rice cooker. Pour in the water and sake and mix in the salt. Lay the sweet potato slices on top - you don't need to mix it. If using the rice cooker, just turn it on and wait til it's done! For using a pot, see next step.
- If using the pot, cover with a lid, and turn the heat on medium. Listen until you can hear the water start to simmer in the pot, then set a timer for 11 minutes and let it cook. Turn off the heat and let it sit without taking off the lid for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, it's ready! Lightly mix in the sweet potatoes into the rice with a wet rice spoon or spatula. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and serve! (or make onigiri :)
