Put the protein, beef, pork, chicken, etc., in small pieces in with spicing and may small amount of oil to minimize sticking and brown it stirring it. This will help flavor it, give it a bit of caramelized surface as you would get pan searing it. This will use or seal in much of that fluid which gives you protein scum when you boil meats. If the rice cooker had higher settings it is a little easier, but it should still work without other settings.
