- Turn Rice Cooker onto cook.
- Add the onion and ginger – garlic paste to the Rice Cooker.
- Mix in a splash of soy sauce if the onions appear to be sticking.
- Stir frequently until onion is soft.
- Add in the stir-fry vegetables and coat well in the above mixture.
- Next add in the soaked rice to the Rice Cooker and coat in above spice and vegetable mixture.
- Mix in the remaining soy sauce and coconut aminos.
- Add in enough water into the rice cooker pot, so everything looks well covered.
- Check for salt at this stage, I haven’t had to add any.

- When finished cooking, mix in the chopped shallots & 5 spice powder, if using.
Garnish with your favourite Chilli vinegar and SriRacha sauce before eating warm.
