Rice Cooker Trout and Roe

Recipes by Chantal Braganza; produced by Sun Ngo; photography by Christie Vuong; food styling by Sage Dakota; prop styling by Nicole Billark.

A rice cooker makes this trout-and-roe dish a one-step lunch that comes together in just over 20 minutes. I love making this as a treat for myself when I'm working from home.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup short-grain rice

  • 1 to 1 ¼ cups water

  • ½ tsp Maggi sauce

  • ½-lb trout fillet (or any pink fish)

To serve

  • ¼ cup salmon roe

  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp mirin rice wine

  • Sliced scallions

Instructions

  • Combine: Mix short-grain rice with water and Maggi sauce in rice cooker pot. Place trout fillet overtop.

  • Cook: Set the rice cooker to its standard "Cook" or "White Rice" setting.

  • In the last 15 minutes of cooking, combine salmon roe with light soy sauce and mirin rice wine.

  • Finish: When rice and fish are done, drain the roe mixture and scatter overtop with plenty of sliced scallions. Serve immediately.
