Red
beans (the name is directly translated from the Chinese name - Hong
Do 紅豆)
are also called adzuki beans. In Asia, we use a lot of red beans in
desserts, and traditionally, red bean paste is made with red beans,
water, and sugar. Red beans are a very good source of protein, fiber,
and potassium, and are low in calories, but when you add the sugar,
it starts to become less healthy. I thought it would be great to make
a healthier version of it, so I don't need to feel guilty eating it.
You can use it for your bread, toast, pancakes, tang yuan, mochi, or
other desserts. It's a great recipe and a good thing for you to have
in your freezer!
