## 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.
