Singapore Red Bean Soup
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cup red beans (soak overnight)
- Water (more if you want it more watery)
- Dried or fresh orange peels (optional)
- 1/2 cup rock sugar (less if too sweet)
- Pandan leaves (optional)
- 1 cup lotus seeds
TIP: This is a delicious dessert dish which can be eaten hot or cold. Children love it especially if you make ice sticks out of this dessert. Do the same as you would when you freeze your favorite ice popsicle.
