purple rice?!?!

This was chopped up natto (the kind ideal for natto maki-sushi) with green onions on top of purple rice. The rice turned purple because of the black rice and red beans I threw in. It was interesting - a little bit like 赤飯, red bean rice often eaten for special occasions. My Korean sis-in-law loves to put beans into rice so I too have become fond of it. Beans make rice more satiating and they tickle the tongue with it's unique texture. Mmm, try it today!
