tangerine peel red bean paste
This is a well-known traditional Cantonese dessert. It uses the most traditional pairing to create the most evocative taste.
The red bean paste added with tangerine peel is thick and rustle and looks ordinary, but it will have a faint aroma of tangerine peel when you enter the mouth. After eating it, it will leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.

Tangerines are dried orange peels, and they get better as they age. In traditional Chinese medicine, those that are within 3 years are called peels, and those that are more than 3 years old are called tangerine peels. Moreover, the tangerine peels become more expensive as time goes on. Of course, the tangerine peel is not old. What is important is that it should be left for a long time and stored properly. It should not contain a little moisture. When it is wet, it will easily have a musty smell. The color is not dead black, but a shiny dark brown. If it smells a delicate fragrance, it is a high-end product. In Guangdong, Xinhui tangerine peel is the famous best tangerine peel.

    Personally, I think that if you want to cook a pot of delicious red bean paste, adding sugar is very important: 1. Use rock sugar or borneol sugar. The white sugar will turn into water, making the red bean paste less sticky and slippery. 2. Cook the red beans until they crack before adding sugar. Add sugar too early. The red beans will not be easy to cook until they are sandy. 3. The reason why red beans are soaked before cooking is to shorten the cooking time. If they are not soaked, the cooking time can be appropriately extended.
