Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups glutinous rice (approx. 270g)
- 1 cup non-glutinous rice (approx. 180g)
- 1 cup mixed grains (approx. 180g)
- 1/2 cup black beans (approx. 90g)
- 1/2 cup white beans (approx. 90g)
- 1/2 cup red beans (adzuki beans) (approx. 90g)
- 1 cup peeled chestnuts (approx. 150g)
Seasoning & Others
- 1 tsp salt
- 2-3 paper cups of water (including water from boiling red beans)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2-3 paper cups of water (including water from boiling red beans)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 1.5 cups of glutinous rice and 1 cup of non-glutinous rice. Rinse the rice 3-4 times under running water until the water runs clear, then soak it in cool water for 30 minutes. Soaking the rice makes it softer and tastier.
Step 2
For a simplified process, we’re using 1 cup of mixed grains. Rinse the mixed grains just like the rice, and soak them in water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. The soaking time may vary depending on the type of grains.
Step 3
Prepare 1/2 cup each of black beans and white beans. It’s important to soak the beans sufficiently so they cook tenderly. Soak them in water for at least 1 hour, or longer if possible. Soaked beans cook more evenly and are easier to digest.
Step 4
Wash the peeled chestnuts thoroughly. Briefly soaking the chestnuts in water will help them become moister and more delicious when cooked with the rice.
Step 5
Place 1/2 cup of red beans (adzuki beans) in a pot, add water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, discard the first batch of water. This step removes any astringent taste, resulting in a cleaner flavor.
Step 6
Return the boiled red beans to the pot, add 300ml of fresh water, and boil for 5 minutes over high heat until the beans are partially cooked.
Step 7
Drain the cooked red beans and set them aside to cool. Do not discard the water used to boil the beans. Add 1 tsp of salt to this ‘red bean water’ to season the rice. This water will impart a subtle color and flavor to the Ogone-bap.
Step 8
Now, let’s combine all ingredients in the pressure cooker. Add the drained glutinous rice, non-glutinous rice, soaked mixed grains, beans, and chestnuts. Pour in the prepared red bean water and an additional 2-3 cups of water. Ensure the water level covers the ingredients. Place the pressure cooker over high heat to bring to a boil.
Step 9
Once the pressure cooker’s whistle starts to blow (indicating it’s pressurized), reduce the heat to low and cook for another 5 minutes. Then, turn off the heat completely and let it steam for 5 minutes. After the steaming process, your delicious and perfectly cooked Ogone-bap will be ready to enjoy!
