Acacia red bean paste

Overview

Red beans grow in the southern country, and when spring comes, they will sprout a few branches. I have always loved red beans. I like red bean double skin milk, and I also like to add a spoonful of honeyed red beans to yogurt. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I don’t have an oven at home, so I wanted to make some snow-skin mooncakes to suit the occasion. I was really worried about the red bean paste sold outside, so I thought about making some healthy red bean paste at home. I could save it to make bean paste buns and glutinous rice dumplings later. After referring to many methods, I also made red bean paste that suits my own taste. A mouthful of red bean paste is full of lovesickness.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the red beans and soak them in water for 12 hours

   

2. 2 Put the soaked red beans into the electric pressure cooker and add the water used to soak the beans. Spread the beans flat and insert your index finger into the flat surface that touches the beans so that the water covers your finger to the knuckle.

   

3. 3 Cover the pot and press the bean/tendon button

   

4. 4 Prepare 200g brown sugar

   

5. 5 Put the brown sugar into a food processor and grind

   

6. 6 Ground brown sugar

   

7. 7 Take out the cooked red beans

   

8. 8 Use a strainer to remove the red beans and put them into a sieve

   

9. 9 Crush the red beans with a shovel and the red bean paste will filter out from the sieve

   

10. 10 Red bean paste passed through a sieve

    

11. 11 Take 3 pieces of cage cloth, soak them with water, stack them together, and put the bean paste inside the cage cloth

    

12. 12 Squeeze the cage cloth hard to squeeze out the water in the bean paste

    

13. 13 Put the water-squeezed red bean paste into a container and set aside

    

14. 14 Add 10g butter to a flat-bottomed non-stick pan and melt over low heat

    

15. 15 Put the red bean paste into the pan and stir constantly with a wooden spatula to fully combine the butter and bean paste

    

16. 16 Add 1/3 of the brown sugar and continue to stir-fry until the brown sugar and bean paste are fully combined

    

17. 17 Add another 10g of butter and continue to stir-fry. Add the remaining brown sugar in two portions

    

18. 18 After all the brown sugar is added, the color of the bean paste will become darker. At this time, there is still more water, so continue to stir and stir-fry

    

19. 19 Fry until there is resistance to stirring and the bean paste forms into a ball without sticking to the pan, then turn off the heat

    

20. 20 Pour the red bean paste out and let it cool. The sweet and delicate red bean paste is now made
