Homemade honey red beans - plump and successful every time

Overview

I didn't want to complain about the bad weather, but because of the heavy rain, my plan to make bread today was ruined, so I had to stay on duty in the office. It's my weekend~~~~~I originally promised Da Ren to shoot a cooking video for him, but it seems I have to postpone it~~Brother Da Ren, I'm sorry~~ Since God won't give me face, I have no choice but to have fun on my own. If I can't do it, I'll just post a diary and write down recipes. Today, let's talk about honey red beans. Honey red beans have many uses in baking. They can be used in making bread, egg tarts and desserts. However, I always feel uneasy about the current honey red beans bought from outside, so it is more reliable to make them myself. As for the method, I personally don’t think it’s too difficult. Once you understand the principle, it’s easy~~

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Rinse the red beans briefly and soak them in water for at least 10 hours. Add more water to allow the red beans to fully absorb the water.

  2. Put the soaked red beans into the pot together with the water. After boiling over high heat, simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, then pour out the water and take out the red beans.

  3. Rinse with clean water. Doing this can take away some of the sour flavor from the beans.

  4. Put the washed red beans back into the pot and add water again. The water will cover the red beans by about 1 cm. At this time, you can add rock sugar (or brown sugar). After the water boils, continue to cook on low heat for about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally during the cooking process to prevent the water from drying out and sticking to the bottom of the pot. If the water dries out too quickly, add a small amount of water.

  5. The boiled red beans can be pinched with your fingers. They should feel like they can be broken, but not like sand. When it reaches this state, take out the red beans, put them in a bowl, steam them in a pressure cooker over water, turn on the steam and steam them over low heat for 30-40 minutes, then let them cool.

  6. I made this recently, using brown sugar, which makes it feel more sticky and has the unique aroma of brown sugar.
