60 min+
Instructions
Step 1
In a saucepan, combine the Kayanoya Original Dashi and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Remove the dashi packet.
Step 2
Cut the corn kernels from the cob. Rinse the rice, drain in a sieve, and let stand for about 30 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer the rice to a rice cooker. Pour in the dashi broth up to the 2-cup line, then add the corn and [A]. Let soak for 30 minutes before cooking.
Step 4
Once cooked, gently fluff the rice and corn together. Lightly salt your hands, then shape into rice balls.
Tip
Fresh, in-season corn stays pleasantly crisp, even after cooking in a rice cooker.
