Cooking approach and texture

The technique here centres on step-by-step home cooking. Keep preparation organised before heating the pan, then cook gently so grains, batter or vegetables reach the right texture without becoming dry.

One useful cue from the method is to roast the buckwheat on low to medium heat in a heavy bottomed pan. This just took a couple of minutes. Remove and keep aside. Continue through the remaining steps in order so the ingredients come together with a more consistent finish.
