Five-Spice Adzuki Beans

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1/2 cup adzuki beans, dry
    3 cups water or veggie broth
    1/2 to 1 whole yellow onion, slivered long
    1/2 teaspoon - 1 teaspoon Chinese 5 spice powder
    1 teaspoon soy sauce
    2 tablespoon apple juice
    black pepper to taste
    1/2 cup frozen peas

Directions:

Bring water or broth to boil. Put in beans. Reduce heat and let simmer. Let cook for 25 min then add the onions and the 5 spice and the soy sauce and apple juice.

You can saute the onion before adding it to your meal if you like to have more oil flavoring; I would suggest sesame oil if you do. But I like to make my things as low fat and oil-less as possible.

Let cook for 15 minutes more and then add the peas. Cook for 5-10 more min or until beans are starting to fall apart.

Let cool for 5 more minutes. Serve over white or brown rice.  Also good over rice noodles or as a filling for a spring roll filling! can also add green onions on top for fun.

Serves: 2-3

Preparation time: 45min-1h
