Hello Maangchi!! I am always excited to read your blog. I have a small question. I recently have purchased a rice cooker, and I am trying to get more familiar with using it. My husband is from South America (Ecuador) and we eat rice daily, which is why I purchased the rice cooker. Can Patbap be made in a rice cooker? How do the steps change?? Is there any possibility of you doing some recipes for rice cooker users? I would fall over with joy!! You are the best. Thank you in advance for your reply. God bless!
You can make it in a rice cooker, but first you need to soak the red beans to make them soft first.
Thank you very much for the recipe Maangchi! We love Patbap/Sekihan!

I usually do it the easier way. All I did was presoaking the red adzuki beans for at least 1/2 a day or overnight then cook them together with white rice/ brown rice in a rice cooker.
This way the adzuki beans will be soft enough as it cooks along with the rice .
Cheers! :)
I have been eating this rice every day! But but I use brown rice and I eat with with radish and cucumber kimchi
Hi there! My son made your potatoes the other night and they wer soooo good! Going to make the patbat tonight. Can you tell me when to add the beans please?
I’m sorry about not mentioning when to add the cooked red beans in the written recipe. Thank you for asking me about it. I added it just now. As you see it in the video, you will have to add the beans after adding 2 1/2 cup red bean water. You probably has already figured out and made nice patbap, yeah? I hope so! : )
Hi Maangchi – what size is your le creuset pot to make the rice? Thanks :)
Hi Maangchi. I have been following your videos for several years and I appreciate the way you explain ingredients and processes, making it easy for anyone to enjoy Korean cuisine. Today I made Patbap and the flavor is incredible. To add something spicy, I also made tteokbokki and the two dishes go very well together. I made the tteokbokki with only 1/2 pound rice cake and increased the fish cake to 1 pound and used 6 hard boiled eggs. I made the changes to cut back on the starch and increase the protein. Since I’m comfortable with the basic ingredients, I’m starting to experiment more. A few weeks ago, I was watching the Korean Drama Series, ‘Dae Jang Geum’ and realized something had been missing from all the Korean dishes I prepared – eating utensils. A search on Amazon and eBay showed me a large variety of Korean chopsticks and spoon sets. Never gave much thought to chopsticks but discovered Japanese, Chinese and Korean chopsticks are very different. I ordered several Korean sets, from the basic plain metal to the fancy stainless steel with turtle pattern, crane pattern, ginseng pattern, and the gold plated titanium. The sets were ordered from vendors in Seoul so now I can eat authentic Korean dishes with authentic Korean utensils which makes dining even more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your love of food.

Gosh this is so beautiful with all the side dishes. Today I bought some azuki beans and will make the Patbap tomorrow. Sounds so delicious. I’m anxious to see the difference in taste of azuki beans and American red kidney beans. yum.
You have been getting into Korean cooking for a while! Good luck! : )
Hello John!
I was wondering what the differences were between Korean red beans and American kidney beans.. then I saw your comment!! What did you notice? Did you have any preferences? Thanks in advance,
