Hello, this is Pao.
Today I’m sharing a simple rice cooker recipe featuring napa cabbage and sliced pork belly.
Just layer everything in the rice cooker with canned tomatoes and let it cook—no need to watch it!
The dish steams in the cabbage’s natural moisture, making it rich in flavor.
The cabbage becomes soft and naturally sweet.
Topped with melting cheese, it’s a tomato-cheese dish that children will love.
Ingredients (Serves 3–4)
Napa cabbage … 1/4 (400–500g)
Thinly sliced pork belly…250g
Canned tomatoes …1 can (crushed by hand)
Sake … 2 tbsp
Garlic (grated)… 1 clove
Granulated consommé… 2 tsp
Sugar… 1 tsp
Salt and pepper, to taste
Melting cheese (optional)
Instructions
1.Cut napa abbage stem into 1cm strips and leaves into 2–3cm pieces. Layer 1/4 of the stems in the rice cooker.
2.Cut pork belly into 5 cm pieces. Layer: napa cabbage → 1/3 pork → napa cabbage → 1/3 pork → napa cabbage, ending with leaves. Lightly season each pork layer.
3.Crush the canned tomatoes, mix with sake, garlic, consommé, and sugar, and pour over the layers. Cook on regular rice mode.
4.Mix, adjust salt, plate, top with cheese, cover, and microwave until melted.
