How to Cook Red Bean Porridge

Ingredients for Red Bean Porridge :

• 1/2 cup red kidney beans
• water as required
• 2 tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 1/4 cup rice flour
• salt as required
• 2 pinches black pepper

How to Cook Red Bean Porridge :

1. Take a large bowl, add enough water and red beans in it. Wash the beans thoroughly and drain water. Transfer beans to a small bowl and pat dry them. Take a saucepan, add 2 cups of water and heat it over medium flame. When water starts to boil, add beans in pan. Boil them over medium flame until beans are tender.
2. Remove from flame and set it aside to cool. When beans are warm enough to handle, place a coarse strainer over a large container and pour cooked beans into the strainer. Take a spoon and mash the beans so that they squeeze through the strainer.
3. Transfer the bean mixture to a deep pan and keep it aside. Take a medium bowl and add a cup of rice flour in it. Sprinkle salt and sugar in the bowl and pour boiled water in it. Knead the mixture to form a soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set it aside.
4. Heat the bean mixture over medium flame for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, take a small portion of dough in your palm and make a small rice ball. Repeat to make the remaining rice balls. Sprinkle some rice flour if they get sticky. When bean mixture starts to boil, gently drop rice balls in pan.
5. Stir to mix the ingredients well and cover pan with a lid. Simmer for 10 minutes until porridge thickens. Season well with salt and black pepper powder. Remove from flame, transfer to a serving bowl and serve hot.
