This is amazing. I'm currently living in Hokkaido Japan and getting so bored with cooking. I miss the diversity of produce that I had in Berkeley but this is going to make one of tomorrow's meal's really exciting I love azuki beans and kabocha, Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteYes it is! Thank you so much for the recipe! I just made it without chili because I didn't have any and it is delicious. I saw it first on the kind life then came here because I cook azuki beans all of time (I live in Japan)and I had never cooked them with so few ingredients so I was hesitant to try the other recipe. Looking forward to more recipes with Japanese ingredients!
