Chuka Okowa is mixed sticky Mochi rice (also called sweet rice), flavored with some of the ingredients and seasonings used in Chinese sticky rice. This chewy, savory rice dish with pork and vegetables boasts a deeper umami flavor from oyster sauce and a touch of sweetness from a small amount of sugar. Chuka Okowa is prepared in the rice cooker, eliminating the need to wrap it with bamboo leaves and steam it in a steamer like the Chinese version, making it incredibly easy to recreate at home.
