Notes

  1. We use basmati rice but you can use jasmine or long grain rice too. Sticky rice not recommended.
  2. We use frozen beef mandu (no need to thaw).
  3. If your rice cooker has different settings, ensure you're using the correct one. In ours, we use "plain".
  4. Cook time depends on your rice cooker. This recipe usually takes 30 minutes to cook using ours.
  5. When I say “cup” I mean the cup that came with your rice cooker and not your usual baking cups.
  6. The estimated nutritional information is based on 6 servings. 
  7. See post for more tips, FAQs and step-by-step photos.
