Red Bean Soup

One of my favorite, and very classic, Chinese desserts. What, a dessert soup you say?

I prefer mine chock full of other additions, various grains and seeds, for that super-healthy and super-tasty appeal. Add in a touch of evaporated milk and brown sugar, and you're good to go.

The other complement to red bean soup, is of course mung bean soup, which is "cooler" (less huo qi).


Red Bean Soup

- 1 packet red beans
- oats
- millets
- tapioca
- raw peanuts (optional)
- lotus seeds

1. Wash red beans. Simmer in pot until ~ half soft.
2. Add in other components and cook.
3. Don't add too many oats, since they tend to soak up the water in your soup.
4. Enjoy!
5. Goes especially well with vanilla ice cream.

Oi, I ate one too many bowls of red bean soup, don't feel so well.
