Sekihan is a classic Japanese dish made from glutinous rice grains and red adzuki beans. The rice has a sticky texture, while the beans are light and fluffy. Let me show you how to make this beautiful red rice dish!
Soak rice: Rinse rice under running water a few times quickly, soak in water for more than 30 minutes and drain.
Cook adzuki beans: Put adzuki beans and water (2 cups) in a pressure cooker, close the lid, and cook over high heat. When pressure is reached, lower the heat, cook for 3 minutes, and turn off the heat.
Cook rice: Open the lid after pressure is released, add rice, close the lid and cook over high heat. When pressure is reached, lower the heat, cook for 3 minutes, and turn off the heat.
Steam: Leave it for 10 minutes to steam the rice.
Stir: Open the lid after pressure is released, stir the rice gently. Top with salt and toasted black sesame seeds as you like.
