Tips

  • A pot on the stovetop works just as well as a rice cooker.
  • Soaking beans for at least 2 hours (6-8 hours ideally) is recommended.
  • Gently mix the rice and ingredients before serving for best results and texture.
  • This combo turns plain rice into a gut-friendly, energizing base for any meal.
  • This rice mixture keeps us full so much longer than plain white rice.
  • The beans add fiber, a slightly nutty texture and help slow down the blood sugar spike.
  • The sprouted lentils give an extra boost of plant-based protein, prebiotics, and even more fiber.
  • You can get all ingredients from Whole Foods Market if you don't live near a Korean or Asian market.
