I make this in a rice cooker and it's super simple! When I have frozen diced onion, red, and green bell pepper mix on hand, I use 2 T of that in place of the fresh onion and peppers, and it's every bit as good. I really prefer the mix of red and green peppers in this dish to just plain ol' green sweet peppers. I frequently use the reduced sodium version of both the soy sauce and the chicken broth and it turns out just fine.
