Rice Cooker Breakfast Burritos + Panasonic Rice Cooker Giveaway
One of the few kitchen appliances I’ve never purchased is a rice cooker. I am pretty good at cooking rice on the stovetop so it never seemed crucial to have one. Would we eat more rice if I had one at the ready all the time? Probably. So when Panasonic asked me to test out a SR-DF101 rice cooker and participate in their #RiseandShine Better Breakfast Month I figured it was a good idea. It was the perfect opportunity to finally test this appliance everyone loves and see just how versatile it is.
Since the challenge focused on all breakfast foods I decided to make breakfast burrito wraps. I know a rice cooker can always get rice done, but using it for breakfast was an intriguing idea. I wasn’t sure about the eggs, but a little research showed that lots of people puts eggs in their rice cooker and it works. Thankfully they were right!
During my experiment I was very pleased to find the SR-DF101 very easy to use. I am not an appliance novice, but I still get wigged out when something is so complicated I have to refer to the manual a thousand times just to turn it on. True to the booklet, I simply pressed a button and the rice cooked up tender and fluffy.
We had a lot of fun adding up some flavor to our rice to make the burritos. I used tomatoes, chiles, and chicken stock for the liquid, and added spices and salt for extra kick. I cracked the eggs in right after the machine finished cooking and flipped to “keep warm” mode. They cooked on the “keep warm” feature on top of the rice for 10 minutes and set perfectly! To finish the burrito I scooped an egg and some rice on top of each tortilla and wrapped them up. They made the perfect easy breakfast that would be delicious any day of the week.

I make my version of Red Beans and Rice at least once a week! I make extra rice and use the leftovers to prepare Rice Pudding for breakfast!
Gumbo. Then make rice pudding with the leftover. 🙂
Fried rice, good breakfast, lunch or dinner
We love fluffy white rice with dal for lunch, biryani for dinner.
I love rice pudding.
I am a huge fan of the breakfast burrito but sometimes all the potatoes are too much. I love the use of rice–much more burrito-esque yet fancied up– and the clever way of making them. You’re awesome. 🙂
rice pilaf!

Chicken Tikka Masala w/ Basmati Rice
I love breakfast burritos! Can’t wait to try this recipe. I also enjoy making a lot of Asian food, just don’t make it enough because making rice is still a challenge to me.
I love congee for breakfast!
It’s almost the time of year for my favorite… foraged chanterelle risotto with leeks and bacon! So good.
Gumbo — spicy chicken and andouille sausage with white rice.
I LOVE leftovers for breakfast…. my favorite is when we have leftover rice… stir fry it with some eggs, thin sliced rare steak (or any other left over meat in the fridge), scallions and a handful of mung bean sprouts… breakfast is served and pass the ponzu and sriracha!
When I was a kid (many moons ago) when my mom had leftover rice, she would warm it up the next morning and put milk, cinnamon, and sugar on it and we would have it for breakfast.Not very exciting, but it brings back warm memories…
We eat rice all the time as a side dish, my husbands favorite as part of a meal with cream of mushroom soup and chicken where it bakes in the oven.
I love rice pilaf with chicken or turkey.
I like veggie fried rice.

love pork fried rice!
We love honey-orange chicken with rice and sesame seeds
Although I often serve rice as a side dish, one dinner in which it’s absolutely necessary is my spouse’s favorite: I make an oniony white sauce and add cooked chicken and vegetables (broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, or whatever I have leftover), and flavor it with thyme or tarragon. It’s a simple meal, enhanced by the rice, which absorbs some of the sauce and is an integral part of the dish.
I love fried rice! I try it make it healthier with brown rice!
Mushroom Risotto is my favorite, even though it takes forever to make.
I like rice pilaf
Fried rice is always good
