If you buy dried Aduki beans then you will need to follow the preparation and pre-cooking instructions very carefully to ensure the toxin that legumes naturally contain is removed. This means you need to start the process of preparing the Aduki beans the previous day.

1 tbsp [1 tbsp] olive oil
2 [2] garlic cloves, sliced
2.5cm [2.5cm] fresh root ginger, peeled and chopped

1 tbsp [1 tbsp] Tamari soy sauce (wheat free version)
1 tbsp [1 tbsp] sesame oil
