Sposób przygotowania

Krok po kroku

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.
Około 3 godz.
Wskazówka kucharza: 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.
Około 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.
Około 30 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Do not overcook the beans; they should not be mushy.
4
Strain the cooked adzuki beans, reserving the cooking liquid. Set the beans aside.
Około 2 min
Wskazówka kucharza: The reserved liquid will give the rice its characteristic pink color.
5
Drain the soaked glutinous rice well.
Około 1 min
6
Combine the reserved adzuki bean cooking liquid with the steaming water. You should have a total of liquid for steaming rice.
Około 1 min
Wskazówka kucharza: 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.
Około 2 min
Wskazówka kucharza: 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.
Około 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.
Około 30 min
Wskazówka kucharza: 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.
Około 2 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Seasoning the rice while hot helps the salt dissolve evenly.
11
