The azuki bean, little known in Bulgaria, is a type of red bean, very common in Asian countries. In terms of quality, it is not inferior to our beans, but it is prepared much faster. It is very rich in protein and compared to other legumes is not as difficult to digest.

In Chinese cuisine, for example, it is used to make many sweet creams, porridges, puddings and pastries. This is due to its light and pleasant sweet taste and aroma. You can cook it in exactly the same way as Bulgarian beans, but be careful not to overcook it. Here are 2 of the most common Asian recipes with bob azuki.
