Mixed Grain And Potato Plate Recipe

Preparing the Grains

1. Begin by rinsing your choice of grains (white rice and buckwheat or a similar grain) under cold running water until the water runs clear to remove any excess starch. 2. In separate pots, boil water and add a pinch of salt for seasoning. 3. Add the grains to their respective pots and lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pots and let the grains cook until they are tender and have absorbed all the water. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes for white rice and 20-30 minutes for buckwheat or similar grains. 4. Once cooked, fluff the grains with a fork to separate the grains and set aside to slightly cool.

Preparing the Vegetable

1. Choose a yellow vegetable that resembles the description, such as potatoes. 2. Clean the vegetable thoroughly under running water. 3. If choosing potatoes, peel them if desired. Cut them into evenly sized chunks. 4. In a pot of boiling water, add a pinch of salt. Add the vegetable chunks and boil or steam until they are tender but still hold their shape. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes. 5. Once cooked, drain the water and set the vegetables aside to cool.
