Sweet and savoury, this Japanese Corn Rice recipe is a simple but delicious side dish. Made with only a handful of ingredients, this rice recipe comes together quickly and easily. While amazing with fresh summer corn, this recipe can be made and enjoyed year-round!
Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. Then add the rice to a donabe or Dutch oven. Add the water, mirin, and soy sauce.
Place the corn on top in an even layer, do not stir.
Place the lid on top and cook the rice on medium heat for 8 minutes then lower to low heat for 15 minutes. Then, turn off the heat and let the rice rest for 10 minutes before opening the lid and adding butter on top.
Fluff the rice and give it a good mix so the butter is distributed throughout. Add more if desired.
