Vickys Aduki Bean, Mango & Quinoa Salad, GF DF EF SF NF
A lovely fresh summer dish full of goodness! Aduki beans may be labelled as Adzuki or Azuki beans or Oriental Red Beans. I used Essential Organics brand. They come tinned or dry. If using dry you need to soak them overnight before using. They're quite sweet and great in salads. In Asia they're mashed and used as filling for dessert dumplings. If you can't find them in you local shop you can use kidney beans in place of them
