Postup

Krok za krokem

1
Rinse the glutinous rice thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear. Place the rinsed rice in a large bowl and cover with fresh water. Soak for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
Přibližně 3 h
Poznámka kuchaře: Soaking the rice helps it cook evenly and become tender.
2
Rinse the adzuki beans and place them in a medium pot with the cooking water.
Přibližně 2 min
3
Bring the beans to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender but still hold their shape.
Přibližně 30 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Do not overcook the beans; they should not be mushy.
4
Strain the cooked adzuki beans, reserving the cooking liquid. Set the beans aside.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: The reserved liquid will give the rice its characteristic pink color.
5
Drain the soaked glutinous rice well.
Přibližně 1 min
6
Combine the reserved adzuki bean cooking liquid with the steaming water. You should have a total of liquid for steaming rice.
Přibližně 1 min
Poznámka kuchaře: If you don't have enough bean liquid, add plain water to reach the total amount.
7
In a steaming basket lined with a damp cloth, spread the drained glutinous rice and cooked adzuki beans evenly.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: A damp cloth prevents the rice from sticking and helps steam circulate.
8
Pour the combined liquid into the steamer pot, ensuring it does not touch the bottom of the steaming basket. Bring the water to a boil.
Přibližně 5 min
9
Place the steaming basket over the boiling water, cover tightly, and steam for 30 minutes. Stir gently once or twice during steaming to ensure even cooking.
Přibližně 30 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Make sure the lid is tight to trap the steam effectively.
10
After 30 minutes, remove the rice from the steamer, transfer it to a large bowl, and gently mix in the salt.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Seasoning the rice while hot helps the salt dissolve evenly.
11
Serve the sekihan warm, garnished with toasted black sesame seeds if desired.
