Azuki & Cashew Rice

‘Sekihan’, steamed short grain glutinous rice cooked with Azuki (Red Beans), is sometimes cooked with Chestnuts as well. But Chestnuts are not commonly available where I live. I looked for a substitute for Chestnuts and I tried some different nuts. Now I can tell you that the best substitute is Cashew Nuts. This ‘Auzki & Cashew Rice’ is even more accessible as it can be cooked with ordinary rice.

When beans are cooked, drain and save the liquid, which will be used to cook rice.
