Sweet Memories from a Bowl of Steam Rice

Could you believe that the sweetest memories comes only from a bowl of steam rice?? I did... :P

I'm typically person that so easier touching only by small things come. 

and for me steam rice not only steam rice. but also include a lot of my precious childhood memories.  

                    When I was child my family especially my grandma always make a steamed rice with traditional way in the morning. 

My grandma will use a heavy pot and with a firewood instead of stove or rice cooker. 

I always love the smell of the steamed rice after the riced cooked. 

The smells like so delicious and suddenly make me hungry.

And I will request to my grandma to serve me immediately. The fresh steamed rice served with a block sea salt. 

Haaaaa?? A block of sea salt? Yessss… right. We called it sego tutul uyah. And this dish really popular among of the children in my kampong. Hahahaha…..

But it’s about couple years ago, now when I back to hometown my mom use rice cooker to cooking steam rice. 

Aaaahhh how I miss the smell of fresh steamed rice…

I thought the Japanese way  to make a steamed rice is also same with our Indonesian kampong style. So I decided to make this steamed rice every time if possible to make it. 

Usually when I serve dinner or lunch for us I always make a steamed rice with this way. But pardon if I have to make this for potluck or big group. Rice cooker maybe will better to doing this job. Hahaha,,,,

                           Here I want to share the recipe that I found through website when I browse. I found this recipe from popular food blogger Namiko san. She also running her You tube channel. 

So kindly check her website or You Tube channel for more info about Japanese cuisine.

And this morning i make for breakfast. hhhmmmm,,, cant waiit to eat them.
