Sweet Red Bean Soup

Apr 28, 2008 07:24

Reusing the recipe for Sweet Mung Bean Soup for sweet red bean soup instead. I love both sweetened red beans and mung beans as a dessert and snack. I like it cold out of the fridge, really cold mixed in with shaved ice, or warm and soothing heated up. You can adjust how much sugar to add to suit your own tastes. You can buy these dried beans at an ( Read more... )

I haven't thought of cold sweet bean soup as a snack or a meal, but I'm game. I'll try it after I get moved and set up. Sounds interesting and I'm game to try anything once. It's how I got hooked on squid.

mmm...Yes I'll try just about anything once or twice. I'll even revisit foods I don't like every few years in case I've started liking them. That's allowed me to take onions, mushrooms, honey mustard, and gherkin pickles off the taboo list. I still don't care much for coffee, beer, or sour pickles. Fried squid. Yummmm.

Still...will you try anything once after you've seen my next post?

I've eaten ants, earthworms, octopus and a few other things, so I'm pretty sure I'll still try anything once.

Then yes. You'd be game for Edible Insects, Part2. Where did you try earthworms and ants? How were they prepared? What did you think of them?

that's way easier than I expected!

shabu Zen in Boston's Chinatown sometimes serves that after a meal. yum.

I remember having a similar dessert at Penang in Chinatown too. They had a couple things on their dessert menu that involved red beans with shaved ice I think. And one of them served it up warm. All yummy there. I haven't gone back in many years. I hope they still have those things on the menu. It's not that difficult to make. Mostly it's remembering to soak them the night before (or set them out to soak in the morning so it'll be ready to cook at night)
