How to use the Cuckoo High Pressure Rice Cooker for cooking dishes ?


This is the High Pressure Rice Cooker " Cuckoo" from Korea, currently I am using it for cooking the rice. It has multi -functions, for example : for cooking the white rice, for speed cooking the white rice, for cooking the brown rice &  grains(현미잡곡,糙米及五谷)or steaming/ braise the food( 만능찜, 蒸或焖),for making the crust over-cooked rice( In Korean, we call 누룽지, 锅巴)。
For me, I use it to cook the  brown rice,glutinous brown rice and black beans together everyday. It is very delicious if compared with by using the electric rice cooker of gas high pressure rice cooker. I wash the rice and soak in the water for 3-4 or 4-5 hours before I cook ( I don't throw away the water, pour it the rice cooker together with the rice.)
We can also use this rice cooker for cooking the following Korean dishes:

(A) 닭찜 (Dak-jim)/焖鸡

Ingredients:
chicken 900g
potatoes 50g
carrot 50g
sugar 2 Tsp
chopped green onion 1 Tsp
minced garlic 1 tsp

ginger juice 1/2 Tsp
pepper 1/2 tsp
sesame seeds 1/2 Tsp
sesame oil 1 Tsp

Method:
1.Wash & cut the chicken into bite-sizes  pieces.

2. Cut the potatoes in 2 or 3 pieces, trim the edges ( optional).

4. combine the seasoning ingredients in a bowl.

5. Pour the seasoning sauce over the chicken, mixing to coat thoroughly. Let marinate for 1 -2 hours.

7. Select the " steam/braise " function and set the time required for 35 minutes. After that, press " start".
