Tips for Perfect Vegan Rice Cooker Meals
- Pre-soak legumes: Beans and lentils cook more evenly when soaked for 1–2 hours.
- Layer flavours: Add aromatics (onion, garlic, ginger) first if your cooker has sauté mode.
- Adjust liquid: Plant-based sauces (coconut milk, tomato purée) count toward cooking liquid—reduce water slightly.
- Finish with freshness: Stir in fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon or lime just before serving.
