Azuki rice (Instant pot recipe)

This is an Instant pot recipe.

If you don't use a pressure cooker , skip this one because the method is unique.

I grew up eating this kind of Azuki bean rice in Japan.

But I have never shared this recipe in public events in Germany as

"Typical Japanese foods " taste too bland for most people.

But this food is sooo rich in antioxidants that keep you young and healthy:)

As I live in Germany I updated my recipe with Jasmines rice recently.

And this is a quick recipe without soaking.

Ingredients for 3-4 portion

50g Azuki beans (raw)

250g white Jasmine rice

(Water A )

500ml ＋5g salt

(Water B)

300ml

Preparation

Rinse short grain rice very well and strain it.

STEP 1

Add 500ml water and 5g in an instant pot ( Pressure cooker )

Rinse Azuki beans and pressure cook them until al-dente for 15 minutes.

STEP 2

Strain Azuki beans.

Discard the dark water.(WaterA)

STEP3

Add strained Azuki beans ,rinsed Jasmine rice and add water (B)= 300ml

in the instant pot.

STEP 4

Pressure cook it for 12 minutes( =Normal rice cooking mode )

The rice should look pinkish and the color comes from the beans.

STEP5

Serve it with some sesame seeds.
