Japanese Sweet Potato Rice

Ingredients:

• 2 cups short grain rice
• 2.25 cups water
• 1 medium sized sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes
• dash of salt
• black and white sesame seeds

Steps:

1. Place rice in a medium pot or your rice cooker. Pour in water, then lay diced sweet potatoes on top.

 
2. If you're using a rice cooker, turn it on and wait until it's done. If using a pot, cover it with a lid, then heat on medium. When water begins to simmer, let cook for 11 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to rest for 15 minutes without removing the lid.
