- 150 gm red beans, soaked overnight
- 2 Tbsp. rice

- 4 x 5 tbsp sugar
Directions
- Method:DRY tangerine peel - approximately 60sen's worth (available mainly at Chinese medical stores/stalls)

- Tips on cooking beans, lentils and legumes
- 1. Always wash your beans throughly. For some reason (and I do not know why) I always get more than I bargained for. For example, stones (which look remarkably like the beans), BUGS (dead and alive) and of course, sufficient sand to fill up a small flower pot.
- 2. If you don't wish to soak your beans overnight or possibly boil them until your kitchen turns into a sauna, invest in a pressure cooker! I think it is the greatest invention after the Chinese wok. This will definitely cut down the time you will have to slave over the stove.
- 3. NEVER overcook unless you are into food for toddlers.
