Ingredients

  • 60 g Adzuki beans, dried
  • 500 g Water
  • 30 g Rice, white, short-grain
  • 30 g Rice flour, glutinous
  • 15 g Sugar

Method

  1. Rinse the adzuki beans, cover generously with water, bring to a boil, and boil hard for 10 minutes, then drain.
  2. Return the beans to the pot with the fresh water and simmer, covered, for 1 hour, until very soft; mash them with the liquid, or blend and pass through a sieve for a smoother texture.
  3. Meanwhile, knead the glutinous rice flour with a little hot water and a pinch of salt into a soft dough and roll into small balls (saealsim).
  4. Rinse the rice and add it to the red bean liquid, simmering for 15-20 minutes, stirring often, until the rice is tender and the porridge has thickened.
  5. Drop in the rice balls and cook for 5 more minutes until they float, then stir in the sugar and remaining salt and serve hot.
