How to make delicious red beans and rice

If we want to make red bean rice delicious, we need to soak the red beans for an hour first, then boil the red beans in a pot, and then cook the red beans until they become swollen, wash the rice, and then cook the red bean soup and rice together. Nowadays, electric rice cookers will jump to the keep warm button after cooking. We should wait until the keep warm button is turned on for five minutes before turning it on. This can absorb moisture and make the red bean rice taste better.

1. Wash the red beans and soak them in warm water for about an hour.

2. Pour into a small pot and bring to a boil, then turn off the heat after 5 minutes.

3. Let the red beans cool naturally. At this time, the red beans have become swollen, but not yet soft.

4. Put appropriate amount of rice and red beans into the rice cooker, add red bean soup and appropriate amount of water, and press the cooking button.

Cooking Tips

1. Soak the red beans in advance.

2. Don’t cook the red beans for too long. 5 minutes after the water boils is enough. If you cook the red beans for too long, the red beans will bloom and the rice will not taste good.

3. Be sure to keep the red bean soup and add it when steaming rice. This will make the steamed rice look good. Otherwise, the beans will be red and the rice will still be white. Moreover, the rice grains will be soaked in the red bean soup, which will make it more nutritious and delicious.

4. When steaming rice, add a little more water than usual when steaming rice, because red beans absorb more water, and the red beans will be hard if there is less water.

5. Cook more red beans each time, enough for two or three meals. Put them in a fresh-keeping box and put them in the refrigerator. When you want to eat, take them out and steam rice or cook porridge.
