Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the round red beans thoroughly under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer to remove any dust or debris.
  2. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
  3. Place the rinsed red beans in a medium saucepan and add 2 cups of water.
  4. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  5. Simmer the beans for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
  6. Add the rinsed rice to the pot with the simmering beans and water.
  7. Cook for an additional 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  8. If any water remains, increase heat slightly to evaporate it, then remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes to steam.
