How to Use:
To cook Adzuki beans, pre-soak in cold water for 1-2 hours. Drain and place beans in a pot of cold water. Bring to the boil, reduce to medium heat and simmer until tender – about 30-40 minutes. Do not add salt while cooking, as this can make the outer skins of legumes tough. Drain and use, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Yummy cooked Adzuki beans can be added to salads, warming soups and hotpots.
For delicious vegetarian burgers, combine lightly fork-mashed beans with grated veggies such as carrot and zucchini. Mix with the batter of besan flour, spices and cold water. A thinner batter can be used to make fritters. Adzuki Beans are often used in Asian cooking including stir-fries, curries and desserts.
In Japan, they are used to make a sweet red bean paste, Anko; or combined with mochi rice in a porridge called Zensai. Smashed beans are great in dips; mix with pureed beetroot, sumac spice or chilli. Versatile and convenient dried Adzuki beans are a handy pantry standby.
