RECIPE
Ingredients (15 servings)
- Glutinous rice 7 cups
- Short-grain rice 3 cups
- Soybeans 2 cups
- Sesame seeds 1 cup
- Salt About 1 and 1/3 tbsp.
How to cook
-
1. Wash the glutinous rice and short-grain rice together, soak them in water for 5-6 hours.
-
2. Drain the rice in a sieve, then steam it.
-
3. While the steam from the rice is rising, roast the soybeans. Transfer them to a bowl, add hot water to soften the beans (season with salt).
-
4. Once steam has risen, place the soybeans from step 3 on top of the rice and continue steaming.
-
5. When the rice is cooked (approximately 90%), taste it, then sprinkle the saltwater soaked soybeans over it. (If you want the beans firmer, steam them a little more at this point.)
