Step 1
To prepare the dish—rice with teriyaki sauce—we first need to cook the rice. I prefer to cook rice in a steamer. So, place the rice into the steamer, add water in a 1:2 ratio, and turn on the appliance. In my steamer, the cooking time is 40 minutes.

Step 2
The rice is ready. Remove it from the steamer and toss with vegetable oil. If you are not preparing the dish for Lent, you can season the rice with butter.

Step 3
Fill a small, wide mold with rice. It's better to grease the mold beforehand so that the rice can be easily removed later.

Transfer the mold with rice onto a flat plate and turn it over. Remove the mold. A rice shape similar to a cake will remain on the plate.
