[Easy with a Rice Cooker] A Simple Habit to Make Dried Chickpeas Your Best Pantry Staple
I bought dried chickpeas.
I found a sale on chickpeas during the recent Amazon sale.
At just under 500 yen for 1kg, it was quite a bargain. I couldn't help but click buy.
Chickpeas are those beans often used in curries and salads, right?
I see them in stores, but I've never used them as an ingredient myself.
I wonder how to cook them.
How to cook chickpeas is easy! A super, super simple cooking method
Since the chickpeas arrived, I searched for how to cook them.
It seems it's super easy if you use a rice cooker.
〇 Ingredients (for about 250g finished product)
Beans (excluding large beans like runner beans) 100g
Water (for soaking) about 3 times the amount of beans
*Depending on the shape of the bowl or pot, make sure the beans are fully submerged.
Water (for cooking) 120cc
I'll leave the details to the article above.
To put it simply,
1. Soak in water overnight
2. Add the specified amount of water and press the button on the rice cooker
That's it.
As mentioned in the quote, I added 120cc of water to 100g of chickpeas and cooked them in the rice cooker.
By the way, it worked perfectly even with about 20 minutes of cooking using the 'quick cook' mode.
It's finished cooking.
Freshly cooked chickpeas are the best! The nutty and beany flavors are so rich and delicious.
First taste of freshly cooked chickpeas.
These are quite delicious. They're great just as they are.
That freshly boiled bean texture.
And a wholesome, deep flavor.
A firm, nutty texture.
I can't believe they're this good without any seasoning.
Rich in dietary fiber. The best habit to boost your body's potential.
Chickpeas. They aren't just delicious.
They're also full of benefits for your body.
They contain a lot of insoluble dietary fiber. Consuming insoluble dietary fiber increases stool volume, stimulates the intestinal walls, and can help improve bowel movements.
Dietary fiber also includes soluble dietary fiber. Its role is to turn into a jelly-like substance when dissolved in water, which slows the absorption of carbohydrates and prevents rapid spikes in blood sugar levels.
Folate, a type of vitamin, is another nutrient found in abundance in chickpeas.
Folate is an essential nutrient for creating red blood cells in the blood. It is also considered necessary for physical growth as it helps build and regenerate cells in the body.
Active intake of folate may help prevent arteriosclerosis.
A companion for your dining table. The simple satisfaction that chickpeas bring.
The same goes for the raw cashews I wrote about before.
Beans and nuts are convenient to have on hand because they have a long shelf life.
The expiration date for the chickpeas I purchased this time is August 2027. About two years from now.
The raw cashews are good until September 2026. These are about a year further out.
Both have a long shelf life, which is a huge help.
For chickpeas, just soak them and pop them into the rice cooker.
For raw cashews, just give them a light roast.
You can easily enjoy the deliciousness of freshly cooked or freshly roasted food.
You get to enjoy a luxury that far exceeds the little bit of effort you put in.
