-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 ounces small red beans -- hoong dul, about 1 cup
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Wash the beans, cover the cold water, and soak overnight. Drain beans and
discard water. Place beans in a 1 1/2-quart saucepan, add 3 cups cold
water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to
medium-low, and simmer 1 hour, or until very soft. Monitor the pan to make
sure water doesn't dry up. Drain and discard the water.
Place the beans in a food processor and process until smooth. Add brown
sugar and process until just combined. In a medium saucepan, heat the
vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the bean
paste and cook, stirring 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mixture is dry.
Remove from heat. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator until
ready to use; it will keep for 1 week.
Makes 1 1/2 cups (24 one-tablespoon servings)
Canned red bean paste is an acceptable product, but the homemade kind is
obviously much tastier. In Chinese markets, you'll find small, plump dried
red beans called hoong dul, not to be confused with adzuki beans, zeck siu
dul,also small red beans that are oblong in shape. This recipe makes about
1 1/2 cups of red bean paste, just enough filling for Sesame Balls. Use
regular brown sugar for this recipe.
