The method of making candied red beans is to make each grain distinct, soft and glutinous without breaking the skin. There is no need to soak the beans in advance, and the cooking time only takes 10 minutes. Convenient and energy-saving

1. Wash 300 grams of red beans first, put them in a pot, pour in 1 kg of water, do not cover the pot, bring to a boil over medium heat, cook for 2 minutes after the water boils, turn off the heat, cover the pot and simmer for 15 minutes.

2. After 15 minutes, open the lid and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes after the water boils. Turn off the heat and cover the pot and simmer for 15 minutes.

3. Repeat this process 4 times and the beans will become cooked, soft and sticky, while the skin will remain beautiful and unbroken. If you taste it at this time, the beans are also very sandy. If you want it to be softer, you can repeat it 1-2 times.

4. If you cover the pot with a lid when cooking, the bean skin will break easily. Repeat the process of boiling the beans twice for ten minutes and simmering for ten minutes to make bean paste. Today I’m making plump red beans for smoothie milk tea, so be sure to open the lid when cooking.

5. After the beans are cooked and soft, add rock sugar and cook until it melts, then turn off the heat.

Put it in a container, seal it, and let the beans soak for 5 hours to absorb the sweetness. You can also seal it and put it in the refrigerator overnight.

6. Take out the red beans, drain the water, pack them into bags, and store them in the refrigerator for a month. You can thaw them at room temperature when eating, and they will still taste great.

7. The remaining red bean water is sugar water. Don’t pour it away. Put it in porridge or make red bean ice cream.
