Num Num Num

That is pretty much the sound you could hear coming from our living room this evening as we devoured our pot stickers and rice. Sounds fairly boring, hey?

Not at all.

Consider this an unpaid endorsement for the rice cooker. It really does make a difference. It is that fuzzy logic at work (whatever the hell that is). Damn Japanese. Too smart for their own good.

This rice was just what I had in the house, like most times, and it turned out awesome.

• Jasmine rice
• chicken broth
• minced ginger
• honey
• salt
• pepper
• tumeric
• dried cherries
• toasted slivered almonds

The pot stickers were courtesy of Costco. But I really love them 'em. They are easy to cook - 10 minutes and you are done.
