Recipe

Soak the rice at least 30 minutes before cooking, then drain completely and place it in the pot.
Add water to the pot—just enough so that your wrist feels slightly damp when dipped.
Add 1/3 teaspoon of salt and gently stir until dissolved.
Evenly distribute half a cup of washed peas on top of the soaked rice.
Place two pieces of dried kelp on top and cook using the white rice setting.
Once cooking is complete, remove the kelp and thinly slice it.
Return the sliced kelp to the rice and gently mix without crushing the peas or breaking up the grains.

Mix soaked rice with water and add 1/3 teaspoon of salt.
Place peas and dried kelp on top, then cook using the white rice setting.
Remove the kelp from the finished rice, slice it finely, and mix it back in.

Cooking tips

Adding a small amount of salt helps reduce any beany bitterness and enhances sweetness and flavor.
Instead of discarding the kelp used in cooking, slice it finely and mix it into the rice—it makes a delicious garnish and adds savory depth.
Store unwashed peas in a ziplock bag and freeze them for long-term freshness.
