Adzuki Beans??? (protein, ginger, spinach, scallions)

[ylisa7]

Has anyone ever tried these? I know they are a Japanese bean and they are usually used in sweet recipes. They are also a very good source of protein. Anyway, I am going to town today to see if I can find them. I love beans.

So does anyone have any recipes?

Never had them, but I am looking forward to hearing how they work out for you.

I've sprouted them (eaten as bean sprouts).... I have no recipes though

I've play around with them a bit. I like savory, not sweet dishes.

I've served them as a simple side dish with spinach, flavored with fresh ginger and tamari.

Another time, I put them in a simple red miso broth, again flavored with a little fresh ginger and some rice wine. I topped with bean sprouts and sliced scallions.

Let us know what you come up with.

Thanks all. I went ot the "big" town the other day but I still haven't found them. I will have to try the Natural store next week.
