Cooking ingredients
Cooking Steps
Step1:Soak 500g of red beans overnight. Put them into a high-pressure pot. Add some water to submerge the red beans. After pressing for about 30 minutes, cook until they are crispy (or use a common pot ~ I made it with a common pot ~ also put some water to cook all the time. Cook until they are crispy. Of course ~ the high-pressure pot is fast ~ the common pot needs more patience.)
Step2:Prepare a basin of clear water and put it into a sieve (not too much water. It's OK without passing through the net.) Add the rotten red beans in several times. Crush the red beans. Then the bean lint will sink into the water along the mesh ~ the bean skin will stay on the net.) After all rolling is completed, precipitate the bean sand water for a while. 20 minutes or so. Then carefully pour out the water on the surface.
Step3:Take a very fine screen (drawer cloth or gauze, etc.) . slowly pour in the precipitated bean paste in the basin. Remove part of the water. Then take a proper amount of the bean paste that has just been filtered. Then squeeze out the remaining water.
Step4:Put the dried bean paste into the pot. Stir over the low heat for a while. Add the salad oil and continue to stir. Add the sugar several times (make sure the sugar is turned on each time. Stir well and put down the sugar again.)
Step5:Stir continuously over low heat until the water is dry and the color is darker Stir fry ~ OK ~ taste ~ not enough sugar. If the taste is not sweet enough, add some sugar. ~At this time, you can do some DIY, such as adding some honey, to see if you like it.
Cooking tips:1. This is a multi-purpose filling. Please adjust the amount of sugar and oil according to your preference. You can't eat the amount of sugar. You can fry and taste it. 2. When squeezing out the water, it is necessary to squeeze out the water as much as possible, so as to reduce the frying time. 3. If you want to make moon cake filling, you must stir fry until the water evaporates completely. 4. Stir fry slowly in a small fire. Stir continuously. Then you can fry the bean paste that is not burnt. The process is very long. Please be patient. 5. Red bean paste, which is not used immediately, can be frozen and stored separately in fresh-keeping bags. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
