Japanese people often enjoy this Sweet Potato Rice in autumn. This is super easy to cook because it is only adding sliced potatoes and a little bit of salt to the normal rice before heating it. If you have a rice cooker, just add potatoes and salt. If you don't, try this procedure.
秋になると日本人はこの「芋ご飯」をよくたべます。ご飯を炊く前に、スライスしたお芋と少しの塩を加えるだけですので、すごく簡単です。炊飯器を持っていれば、お芋と塩を加えるだけ。もし持っていなければ、この手順で作ってみてください。

2 cups rice
2 cups water
2 sweet potatoes
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp Sake (if available)
Procedure
1. Rinse rice in water several times until the water becomes clear.
2. Soak the rice in water for at least 10 min.
3. Slice sweet potatoes into bite-size and soak them in water for a while. Drain them.

5. Put the pan over middle heat until it comes to boil and then simmer it for 10 minutes over low heat.
