How to Cook Steamed White Rice (Gohan) with a Rice Cooker
Rice is the staple of Japan, so most Japanese have a rice cooker at home and we eat rice in almost every meal.
Using a rice cooker is simple and effective way to cook rice, so here I will show you how! If you use a rice cooker, you don’t have to watch the rice cooker once you start it! So meanwhile, you can cook other dishes.
Note: Japanese rice is short grain rice and gets sticky when it is cooked. So, make sure you don’t use long grain rice because it is drier and doesn’t stick together.

http://vegcoach.com – Eat Vegan On $4 A Day author Ellen Jaffe Jones gives her story as to why she went vegetarian, then vegan. It began as way to improve her health as she witnessed most of her family suffering from a number of diseases, including cancer. At one point she went off her plant-based diet, only discover her own health deteriorate to the point of landing in the emergency room. Yet, when she went back to eating plants, her health regained. She also explains where her protein comes from, and what she does about vitamin B12. She concludes the video with why she wrote her book: because she watched on TV a welfare recipient explain that welfare money was not enough money to eat healthfully. Eat Vegan On $4 A Day shatters that myth by showing us how we can buy whole plant foods from the produce section as well as beans and grains in the bulk section of our grocery stores and that when we cook this food from scratch, we can most certainly afford to eat healthy while on a budget.
