A Day in My Life 23: Cooking Rice

Mom gave me a rice cooker last week. Tonight, I'm going to use it for the first time! I'm going to make rice and vegetables. First, I measure two cups of rice. I wash the rice in cold water. I wash it three times, until the water is clear. Then I put the rice in the rice cooker. I add water up to the line. I close the lid. That's easy! While the rice cooks, I cut some vegetables. I fry carrots, broccoli and onions in a pan. Oh, it smells really good! Thirty minutes later, I'm very hungry. I open the rice cooker. Wait, the rice is still hard and cold! Oh no! I didn't press the start button! So I press the button and wait again. Now the vegetables are cold, too. Mochi looks at me. She wants dinner, too! Beep! Finally, the rice is ready! It's soft and hot. It's much better than my old rice in a pot. I send a photo to Mom and say thank you. Next time, I'm going to press start first!
