Notes
- This dessert can be served hot or cold - You can adjust the amount of red beans and black glutinous rice according to your preference. - The amount of water used depends on how high your stove power and how long you cook. Top up with more boiling water if necessary. (If you use slow cooker, you’d need less water.) - If you would like to enjoy the texture of whole red bean, you just cook to the point what I had. If you like the soup thicker, cook longer time
