I made this for my son's okuizome (weaning ceremony)Since I didn't have a large steamer, my mom taught me how to cook sekihan using the rice cooker.It turned out to be great, so I decided to post this recipe for future reference.By exposing the boiled water (that the adzuki beans were boiled in) to air, this will promote oxidization and the red color of the sekihan will be more vibrant.After pouring the boiled water into the rice cooker until it reaches the 3-cup line for okowa, you should still have some leftover boiled water! Instead of adding all of the boiled water to the rice cooker, adjust the amount until it hits the 3-cup line. Recipe by YUKI0611
