Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dice the bell peppers into small, uniform pieces for even cooking and consistent texture.
  2. Rinse the fresh bean sprouts thoroughly under cold water and drain well to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the cooked red azuki beans, diced bell peppers, and bean sprouts.
  4. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to warm through without mushing the beans.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the salt and ground white pepper to taste.
  6. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Note

For a creamier texture, you can lightly mash half of the azuki beans before mixing with the vegetables.

If bean sprouts are unavailable, thinly sliced cabbage or broccoli stems can be used as a substitute, as hinted in the original text.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to maintain the crunch of the vegetables.

This sauce pairs exceptionally well with steamed rice, noodles, or as a topping for grilled tofu and tempeh.
