Therefore, frequently consuming rice beans is greatly beneficial to our health. How should we cook rice beans so that they are easier to cook and taste delicious? Next CookingNet's editor will introduce simple methods for cooking rice beans. One, how to cook rice beans easily:

　　1. Soaking method before cooking.

On the night before preparing to cook the rice beans, soak them in water overnight. In hot weather, you can refrigerate and soak them.

After soaking, rinse the beans clean, then put them in a pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, remove foam, then simmer on low heat until the beans are cooked; using a pressure cooker speeds up the process.The beans should be soaked as shown in the image above. Fully soaked rice beans can also be cooked by bringing to a boil and cooking for about 1 minute more before turning off the heat, then letting it cool with the lid on until they are fully cooked; this method saves fuel. A disadvantage of this method is that some nutrients may be lost, and the resulting red bean paste will not look as lustrous. Those who plan to make red bean paste should avoid this cooking method.

2. Boil then soak method.

Wash the rice beans without soaking them first; once the water in the pot is boiling, add the rice beans and boil for 3-5 minutes before turning off the heat and letting it sit for about 30 minutes to absorb water.After 30 minutes, reheat and cook for another 10 minutes or so until they are soft. This method is good as it minimizes nutrient loss and saves fuel; using a pressure cooker speeds up the process even more.

3. Repeated steaming-cooking method.

This method suits those with ample time, though it takes longer but is more fuel-efficient. Wash the rice beans and place them directly in a pot; bring to a boil then let cool before bringing back to a boil again, repeating this process up to three times until the beans are soft.

This method can also be done by putting the rice beans in a pot with just enough water; after it boils, add some cold water, and repeat until they come to a full boil.

4. Freezing method.

Wash the rice beans then soak them for 30 minutes in water until fully absorbed. Divide into small bags and freeze in the freezer. When ready to cook, just heat briefly and they will be soft. Warm reminder:

1. Regardless of which method is used to cook rice beans, new rice beans are easier to cook; old ones require more cooking time.

2. Rice beans have many varieties with varying levels of difficulty in cooking them.

Additionally, most types of rice beans can be cooked using a regular pot, pressure cooker, slow cooker or multicooker, but one type requires a fast cooker to be fully cooked.
