Easy Sekihan
Sekihan (Red Bean Rice)
Sekihan is my spirit food—a dish that runs through my veins. It is one of my favorites, which means that every time I visited my grandma, she had a huge batch of it ready when arrived. She made it the “old fashioned” way, using a stovetop steamer. This recipe uses a rice cooker, which I can handle! The beans infuse the rice with a subtle nutty flavor, which is heightened by a sprinkling with salt and sesame seeds before serving.
