Instructions
- Prepare chestnuts by using kitchen scissors to remove the outer hard skin. Leave the astringent skin intact.
- Place them in a saucepan or pot and pour enough water to cover the chestnuts.
- Start to heat the pot over high heat to bring it to boil.
- Once it has boiled, turn the heat down to low / medium and simmer to cook the chestnuts for about 20 minutes.
- Drain the hot water and add cold water so that you can handle the chestnuts but the chestnuts will not get dry.
- Carefully remove the astringent skin with hands and set aside all.
- Wash the rice and glutinous wheat until the washing water becomes clearer (about 3-4 times). Drain the water completely.
- Place the washed rice and the glutinous wheat into a rice cooker.
- Pour 2 cups of water and add salt and sake.
- Place the chestnuts over the rice.
- Close the rice cooker lid and set the rice cooker, following the rice cooker instructions.
- When it is cooked, stir gently. Try not to break the chestnuts shape.
- Serve in a rice bowl and sprinkle black sesame seeds.
Notes
- I used glutinous wheat, it can be replaced with sweet rice. If you are not able to access either of these, then cook with rice only.
- The reason I add glutinous wheat is for its mochi like texture.
- Cooking time will differ depending on rice cooker.
