Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped small
  • 1 1/3 cups brown rice , jasmine variety
  • 14 1/2 oz chicken broth (1 small can)
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp turmeric

Directions:

  1. Heat up rice cooker by turning it on and weighing it down with the lid or something heavy. (I have an old rice cooker, if I don't weigh it down, it turns itself off. Please make sure the rice cooker stays on the whole time you are cooking vegetables).
  2. Add butter and melt.

  7. Restart the rice cooker (turn off and turn back on).
  8. After rice cooker turns off, wait about 3 minutes and serve.
  9. If not using a rice cooker, use a heavy bottom pan with a tight fitting lid. Cook butter and vegetables on medium high. Follow instructions until restart of the rice. Then.
  10. Bring to a boil.
  11. Reduce heat to low or very low.
  12. Put lid on tight and steam for about 40 minutes. Do not open lid while cooking.
