Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups brown rice

4 1/2 cups spring water

1 cup black soybeans

3 pinches sea salt

2 teaspoons tamari soy sauce

 

In some regions of the country, because of the combination of black and

white, this dish is served as a traditional mourning dish, whereas in other

regions, it is used to mark a joyous occasion. This is one of my favorite

dishes.

 

Wash the rice and put it in a pressure cooker. Add the water. Put a clean

moist towel on a countertop and put the soybeans on the towel. Fold the

towel over the beans and pat the beans gently with the towel to remove any

dust. Put the cleaned beans in a preheated cast-iron frying pan and

dry-roast, quickly but gently, stirring with a wooden paddle or

spoon. When the beans begin to crack and the insides turn slightly golden,

add the soybeans to the rice in the pressure cooker. Add the salt and

tamari soy sauce. Cover the pressure cooker and cook over low heat for 10

minutes; then raise the heat until pressure is reached. As soon as

pressure is achieved, reduce the heat to low and cook for 45 to 50

minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes; then

release the pressure. Let the pot sit for 10 minutes longer. Then open

the pot and transfer the rice and soybeans to a wooden bowl.
