Butter Corn Rice Recipe

0 Using a knife, cut off the corn kernels from the cob and measure approximately 1 1/2 cups. Can be substituted with canned corn. 
1 Wash and rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Place the rice into a donabe or pot. 
2 To the pot, add water, mirin, a pinch of salt, and mix well. Carefully layer the corn on top of the rice. Optional - add the cobs on top for more flavor. 
3 Cover with a lid, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the rice to steam for 10 minutes undisturbed. 
4 Add butter and ground black pepper on top. Mix well, serve, and enjoy!
