Rice Steamer Seafood Rice

Hi there! A new start ahead in year 2011. How was your new year celebration? What is your new year resolution? Mine is one of the simplest but important resolution, to keep staying healthy all the time. Recently, I had bought a new rice cooker, it is indeed a rice steamer which comes with a stainless steel pot separately. ANSHIN Rice Steamer is well-known for its safety, healthy and durable concepts. I have been eyeing for a stainless steel pot rice cooker for sometime when I heard of the risky issues of using a non-stick rice cooker. Until the end of 2010, finally I need to change a new rice cooker. Thus, I decided to buy this rice steamer with more cooking functions. You may get more information on the Khind ANSHIN Rice Steamer RCS518 (安心蒸飯鍋) here.


This rice steamer came with an Agnes Chang "Steam Up... For Health" mini recipe book. Those recipes are simple and easy to cook especially for those who loves one pot dish! It saves us a lot of time by using this rice steamer to whip up a healthy meal for the family. Moreover, it is using the steaming method which is healthier. It can also be used to steam meat, fish, chicken, vegetables and other foods. When it is used to steam soup, it can retain the original flavour & nutrients of the soup ingredients.

For this new year and a great year ahead, I would like to have more steaming dishes with less hassle, within short period and enjoy healthy meals at home. This recipe was adapted and modified from the Agnes Chang "Steam Up... For Health" mini recipe book. This steamed seafood rice is full of fragrant, aromatic and delicious. Every Grain of steamed rice is fully cooked to its core, making it soft and fluffy. Let's enjoy one of the steamed rice recipe and have a good year ahead!More reference here.
