    Thankfully, I’m near an asian market & didn’t have an issue with most ingredients. I did have trouble getting buckwheat (the stores only had buckwheat flour, not the kernel/husk version) & dried romano beans. To substitute, I used quinoa for the buckwheat & pinto beans for the romano beans. I used the amount as listed for each ingredient for the substitute as well. No issue with the porridge! Tastes great! I like to add a little cream to my bowl after lightly sweetening it.
