Made in a Pressure Cooker, No Prep Required, Professional Grade Sekihan in 15 Minutes
A distinct feature of the pressure cooker is that it only takes 1/3 of the cooking time compared to a conventional pot. But when it comes to sekihan, not only does the pressure cooker cut down cooking time, but it also lets you skip the preparation work from the day before. What a surprise! Adding to that, it's foolproof! Amazing, isn't it! This is my family's emergency go-to dish.
Basic ratios.
white rice: glutinous rice: water: adzuki beans= 2: 3: 4: 0.5.
salt: about 3/5 teaspoon (3 ml) per 1 rice cooker cup.
When cooking a small amount of sekihan, I recommend measuring out the ingredients in a small container. Since the sekihan will be topped with black sesame seeds & salt, as long as you don't add too much, you don't have to be precise when measuring out the salt. Recipe by Yuukotanaka

Easy Sekihan in a Rice Cooker Easy Sekihan in a Rice Cooker
Sekihan rice is an essential part of family birthdays or celebrations. Making it with glutinous rice makes it really chewy and delicious, but adding a small amount of white rice reduces any stickiness and also keeps the glutinous texture. It was so delicious that it became our family's regular dish.Take care not to overcook the adzuki beans. Simmer slowly over low heat, and occasionally add some water.The reason why it's a little over 4 cups on the "okowa" mark, rather than exactly 4 cups, is because there's regular grain rice mixed into the glutinous rice.

Sekihan Made in a Rice Cooker Sekihan Made in a Rice Cooker
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 -
