There's 3 sizes of the red bean packets there and I grabbed the middle one, it's weighted at 800g. So this is how much red beans you'll need. Or more or less, adjust it to how much you want to eat. 800g of these makes a pretty huge batch that'll last my family of four for the entire week lmao.
Here's what you'll need:
800g Red Beans
4000ml water
1 box of rock sugar (the yellow one with the rocks on it)
2 tbsp of sago
A couple of pandan leaves
A couple of dried tangerine peels (optional)
Coconut Milk
-Clean your beans and then soak your red beans in water overnight. Fill it up until the water is covering the beans.
-Next day, pour your beans into a huge pot along together with 4000ml of water. Put it on the stove and bring to a boil.
-After it boils, cover it with the pot cover and turn your heat to low and let it simmer for an hour.
-After an hour, cut up your tangerine peels and add them in, giving them a quick stir (Skip if you're not using tangerine peels) tie your pandan leaves up and add them into the pot and cover and let simmer for another hour. (Remember to periodically check on it and give it a little stir to make sure that it don't burn and that there's enough water in it. If there's not enough water, go ahead and add about 500ml more inside)
-After another hour, remove the pandan leaves and turn the heat off. Remove and drain the beans from the water (DON'T THROW THE WATER OR THE BEANS AWAY. JUST SEPARATE THE BOTH OF THEM INTO DIFFERENT BOWLS)
-Once your beans and water are separated, take a spoon and begin smooshing your beans down. Smoosh it until it turns to smoosh but leave some of them as whole. Smoosh not finely yk?
-Add them back into the water and put it on the heat again at low. At this point, keep mixing it until it starts to thicken up from your smooshed beans. If it's too thick for you, add 500ml more water in or if you like it thick then leave it as it is.
-Add your rock sugar in, keep stirring it until it's all melted and taste it. If it's too bland then add more rock sugar into it but if you like it just like how I like mine then just leave it as it is :)
-Add your sago in and keep stirring. You have to keep stirring to break the sago up and keep it from burning.
-After five minutes of continuous stirring, put the cover back on and let it simmer for 30 minutes. Be careful here or it will spill over because it's bubbling up.
-After 30 minutes, ITS TIME TO SERVE!!!!
Spoon it into a bowl and add a tbsp of coconut milk on top of it and serve, guaranteed to be a mouthwatering after meal sweet soup!!!!
