Instructions
- Rinse the rice until the water runs mostly clear. Add to the rice cooker pot along with water just shy of the 2-cup line.
- Coat chicken in sugar, salt, and sake. Set aside for 10 minutes. Pat to remove excess moisture.
Place into the rice cooker pot and cook on quick rice mode. - In the meantime, combine all the ingredients for the chili oil sauce and miso sauce in separate bowls.
Once the timer goes off, remove the chicken and let the rice stand for at least 10 minutes on keep-warm mode before mixing. - Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred with your hands or slice against the grain. Place the chicken onto serving plates and top one chicken with the chili oil sauce and the other with the miso sauce. Serve with rice and enjoy!
