Oven method

  • Preheat the oven to 375℉ or 190℃

  • In an oven safe dish like dutch oven or casserole dish, add in rice, boiling stock/water and sauce. Mix together.
  • Add in the veggies and hot dog.

Notes

*If you are using raw meat like beef or pork, use the sauce to marinate the protein and then put into the rice cooker. Choose a protein that will cook easily or else it might not cook fully.
**the time it takes the rice to cook will depend on the type of rice. Long grain rice like jasmine rice takes shorter time than medium grain. Brown rice will take twice as long.
