Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups medium grain white rice
- 1/4 cup quinoa
- 2 tbsp black rice
- 1 tbsp mochi mugi (barley)
- 1 tbsp adzuki beans
- Water (adjust based on your rice cooker or cooking method) - for me, I always just use the same amount of water that I use for medium-grain rice. A general ratio is 1 cup rice : 1 to 1.25 cups water.
Instructions
- Soak the black rice, mochi mugi, and adzuki beans in plenty of water for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. This helps soften them, improves texture, and reduces cooking time.
- Drain the soaked grains and rinse thoroughly. Also rinse the white rice and quinoa until the water runs mostly clear.
- Add all grains and legumes into a rice cooker or pot.
- Use the same amount of water as you would for plain white rice and cook as you normally would for rice. Fluff and serve.
