Switch to medium heat (70% power) and cook for 40 minutes, then heat over high heat for 20 minutes. At this time, there is about 1 cup of water in the pot, the bean juice is secreted, and the red beans are reserved.

Method 2

step:

1. Wash about half a pound of red beans with clean water, then soak them in about three to four tablespoons of alkaline water for about half an hour. Then put the red beans into the pot and cook until they become soft and sandy. If you want the taste to be softer and smoother, you need to shell the red beans and make red bean paste; 2. Use your hands to grab the red beans to separate the shells and sand, then use a water-separating spoon to separate the shells, and then you can separate the sand. To separate the sand, you need to use a special bag (you can sew it yourself with a relatively high-density cloth), pour the red bean paste into the bag, wring out the water, and you can get the pure red bean paste;

4. Add the ingredients layer by layer: first add half of the glutinous rice flour and steam it. When the flour becomes cake-like, add the red bean paste. Cover the pot after it is evenly spread out. Finally, add the last layer of sticky rice flour and steam until cooked.
