Not all beans can make sand. It used to be known that red beans and mung beans were suitable for making bean paste. A few days ago, when I was making black beans soaked in vinegar, I accidentally harvested black bean paste. It was really lucky and it was super delicious ~
There are many kinds of black beans. Green core big black beans belong to the soybean category and are suitable for making soy milk. Yellow core small black beans can also be used for making soy milk. Only this white core small black bean is suitable for making bean paste and has a high starch content.

Steps for black bean paste
1
These are beans before cooking.
2
After cooking, not much water is added, and the pressure cooker is used for 10 minutes, which really saves time and effort.
3
After the beans are out of the pot, twist them with your hand and find that they are all white sand. I just took a bowl and crushed it with a spoon for a while.
4
Because there were no soaked beans, the cooked beans did not have any moisture and were very dry. I thought it would be difficult to grind with a spoon, so I put them in a bag, rolled them back and forth with a rolling pin, and they were all crushed quickly.

This is what the ground black bean paste looks like. It's not bad, isn't it? Generally, bean paste needs to be stir-fried to dry the water, so we save this. If you want to make red bean stuffing, you have to add water. It's much easier to add water than stir-fried. It's very malleable.
6
I added some brown sugar and sesame seeds to the bean paste.
7
Add some water and make it into a sweet black bean filling, which tastes very good. Because the bean filling does not need to be heated, it is also delicious with honey, and it is healthier without oil.

I asked my mother to taste it and asked her if it was no worse than red bean. My mother said it was red bean stuffing. Haha, my mother couldn't tell the difference. It shows that it's really delicious.
