    TIP:

    Alternatively, you can use a regular pot for this recipe. I prefer an electric cooker because it's more convenient and I don't need to stir, plus I only cook enough for one person.

    You can also use a wok, but for convenience and since I'm eating alone and not making much, it's just right without stirring.
