Peanuts Sweet Rice

Peanuts are the oil seeds being used in all Asian cooking. These little nuts have amazing health benefits.  They are rich in energy and minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins that humans need. For years, many studies have been found for the many health benefits to those who consume peanuts as snack or main meal. Peanut kernels are a good source of reservation, another polyphenolic antioxidant. It could prevent against cancers, heart disease, degenerative nerve disease, Alzheimer’s disease, etc...I am not here to explain how beneficial it is to eat peanuts every day. I just want to share one of my favorite breakfasts that is easy to prepare using peanuts with all the excellent health benefits come with this dish. Several months ago, I bought a pressure cooker, and it has become an amazing kitchen gadget. I posted a few recipes using this tool and today is another easy recipe with make everyone smile. 
 
Ingredients:
2 cups raw peanuts
2 cups sweet rice
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup water
1 to 1/2 tsp salt
Equipment:
Pressure cooker
Rice cooker

Directions:
Soak raw peanuts with plenty of water overnight.

Drain peanuts in the morning and place in the pressure cooker.

Add about 2 cups of water to the peanuts and 1 tsp salt. Follow the instructions of the pressure cooker. Cook for 10 minutes. Drain

Wash and drain the sweet rice.

Mix the rice and 1 tsp salt and cooked peanuts in a mixing bowl well.

 Place them in the rice cooker. Add milk and water to the rice-peanuts mixture. Close the lid and follow the instructions of your rice cooker.


Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with roasted sesame seeds and shredded coconut meats.

 


My rice cooker has a function of sushi rice and quick rice. I use the sushi action first and then the quick rice. It comes out perfectly. Use your own adjustment because each equipment has some pros and cons.
