Directions:
1. In a medium pot, cover the rice with one and a half cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot and cook over low heat until the rice is done (approximately 15 minutes). When rice is finished cooking, mix in cooked adzuki beans and set aside.
2. To make the tomato sauce, begin by sauteing the onions in the sesame oil until translucent and fragrant. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the diced tomato, tomato paste, and chili and cook for 5 minutes. Add water to prevent the sauce from drying out. It should have a thick, soup-like consistency. Add the white vinegar and lemon juice, then simmer everything together for about 5 minutes.
3. To serve, spoon the cambuulo into each bowl. Spoon the tomato sauce over the cambuulo. Garnish with diced tomatoes, or fried onions if desired.
