Easy Sekihan in a Rice Cooker

Sekihan rice is an essential part of family birthdays or celebrations. Making it with glutinous rice makes it really chewy and delicious, but adding a small amount of white rice reduces any stickiness and also keeps the glutinous texture. It was so delicious that it became our family's regular dish.

Ingredient

Food ration :

5 servings

540 ml

Mochi rice

350 grams

Uncooked white rice

100 ml

Dried adzuki beans

1 dash

Salt

1 dash

Black sesame seeds

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Put the adzuki beans and the water into a pan to heat. When it boils, remove the water immediately (to remove the scum). Add new water and simmer over low heat until the beans become soft.

* Step 2

Add water a few times midway, and continue to simmer. When the beans become soft, drain in a colander or sieve. Do not discard the cooking water; let cool.

* Step 3

Rinse the mochi rice with white rice and drain in a colander or sieve.

* Step 4

Add the cooking water from the adzuki beans and the mixture of rice into a rice cooker. Add water a little over the 4 cup "okowa" (sticky rice) mark. Mix well, and let it soak for minimum 1 hour.

* Step 5

Switch the rice cooker on the "okowa" setting.

* Step 6

When done, mix to fluff the rice lightly with a spatula and to mix in the adzuki beans. (Transfer into an "ohitsu" [wooden rice container] if you have one. This will help to remove any excess water.)
