Korean rice and beans?
When I lived in Korea we occasionally had purple rice in the house where I lived.
I believe this was achieved by soaking and cooking the rice with some kind of bean or grain mixture. Anyone know what I'm talking about and have the details? (what this is, how it's made, where to find?)
It was great and I'd love to recreate this dish! many thanks,

The beans are called Komjung kong (검정콩) or black soybeans. You just soak them and throw them in the rice cooker along with the rice. You can find them at most asian grocery stores. They also sell multi grain mixes to add to your rice as well.
