Easy and light one pot rice with ribs and corns is frequently on our table in summer. It is quite easy to prepare since we usually use rice cooker to cook. In order to make the recipe match with the hot summer day, I add only a few of condiments. So this is a very light version. But you can make it hotter by add dried chili peppers and darker with dark soy sauce.

We love to add meat or other vegetables to our rice cooker when making steamed rice. As a group of dishes, we call them “焖饭”. Those steamed rice dishes are easy to make, balance in nutrition and quite yummy. I use a summer ingredient- fresh corns which brings a sweet taste to the rice. The ribs are tender and soft and the grains are full of flavor after combined with the aroma from the vegetables and ribs.
