This green pea rice recipe is a great way to season your rice. Traditionally as shared by Harumi Kurihara in her Everyday Harumi cookbook, this rice is prepared with dashi stock, however, she made some modification by replacing the dashi stock with a mixture of sake, water and salt. As you know that rice dishes pretty much goes with any other main dishes or side dishes you prepared and this one is no exception.

NOTES: If you plan to use a rice cooker, cook your rice as you normally would and follow the amount of water calls for in the recipe. Our rice cooker has a sushi rice setting, so that's what I used. Once the rice is cooked, add in the green peas and mix in roughly
