Red bean and coix seed soup is a nourishing, traditional Asian delicacy loved for its health benefits and comforting flavor. Here’s a detailed guide to preparing it.
Ingredients:
- 100g red beans (soaked for 4 hours)
- 50g coix seeds (soaked for 2 hours)
- 30g rock sugar (or to taste)
- 1.5L water
- Optional: A few dried goji berries or pandan leaves for extra flavor.
Steps:
1. Prep the Ingredients: Rinse soaked red beans and coix seeds until water runs clear. Soaking reduces cooking time and enhances texture.
2. Cook the Base: In a pot, add beans, coix seeds, and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 1.5–2 hours, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender.
3. Sweeten: Stir in rock sugar (and goji berries if using). Simmer for 10 more minutes until sugar dissolves.
4. Serve: Cool slightly and enjoy warm. For a richer texture, blend half the soup before adding sugar.
Tips:
- For quicker results, use a pressure cooker (30 minutes on high pressure).
- Avoid adding salt, as it may harden the beans.
- This soup is cooling, making it ideal for summer or after workouts.
Enjoy this simple, wholesome treat that balances sweetness and earthy flavors!
