Red bean soup (dessert) - 红豆糖水

Red Bean Soup is one of my alltime favorite dessert. I can eat it hot or room temperature or cold, just as good!

Ingredients:

  • Red beans (1 cup)
  • Black rice (1/2 cup)
  • Small tapioca pearls (1/4 cup)
  • Palm sugar (4 pieces from package or to taste - can use regular sugar)
  • Pandan leaf (a few pieces and tie a knot - optional)
  • Coconut milk (1/3 can)
** Please note that you can alter the measurement per taste. The best part of this is, you can add more water if it's too thick



  1. Boil the pandan leaf, red beans and black rice in water (about 6 serving/bowls) for about an hour or when both red beans and rice soft.
  2. Add in tapioca pearl and keep stirring the pot. This will prevent tapioca pearl sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  3. When pearls become clear white, add palm sugar and coconut milk.


Enjoy!
