Ingredients

Rice isn't the only thing you can cook in a rice cooker. Rice cookers, which are designed to shut off or reduce heat at a certain point in their cook cycle, are often on the approved cooking equipment list for dorms. This dish, made with shelf-stable and inexpensive ingredients, is a perfect option for college students looking for a little fiber and protein they can make while they study.
