This time I wanted to try making a sweet red bean soup dessert using my Instant Pot IP-DUO60 7-in-1 Multi-Functional Pressure Cooker. I love this dessert because you can use the beans in many ways. But I always forget to soak the beans and hate babysitting them over the stove. And if they boil over, the cleanup is annoying.
I was ecstatic when I was able to make this without soaking the beans and only had to put the beans and the water into the pot and press a button. It came out great. The only thing is you might want to use 2 sticks of brown sugar for a sweeter flavor. I only used 1 stick because I'm trying to cut back on my sugar intake. That way, I can continue to eat my desserts and not worry as much about my sugar being high :).
Here are the ingredients I used:
1 cup of dried red beans, rinsed
1 stick of brown sugar, more to taste
3 cups of water
Optional: For a more traditional Asian recipe, add a piece of dried orange peel (陳皮)
I'm making these videos so I can remind myself how I made the recipe. I figure I'm going to try everything and forget what I did previously. I hope they help you as well.
