Altoran Whole Red Bean Porridge Recipe

Here is how to boil red beans and make whole red bean porridge. Ingredients include red beans, ginger, cinnamon, jujubes, glutinous rice, brown sugar, salt, and honey. Ginger, cinnamon, and jujubes are needed when boiling the red beans. First, boil 3 cups of red beans in water for 10 minutes, then strain out only the beans. Add 20 cups of water, 40 g of sliced ginger, 40 g of cinnamon, and 30 pitted jujubes to a pot and boil for 20 minutes. Remove the ginger, cinnamon, and jujubes. Mash the jujubes through a sieve and return them to the water prepared for boiling the beans. Add the parboiled red beans to this water and cook. Once the water comes to a boil, cook over medium heat for 1 hour. Combine 1.5 cups of glutinous rice flour with 1 cup of water to make a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the red beans until the desired consistency is reached. Season with 1 cup of brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, and 3 tablespoons of honey to complete the whole red bean porridge.

Altoran Milk Patbingsu Recipe

Here is how to make milk patbingsu at home without a shaved-ice machine. Ingredients include milk, condensed milk, whole red bean porridge, and glutinous rice cakes. Pour 4 cups of milk into a bowl. Mix in 1 cup of condensed milk, then freeze the mixture. Use a zip-top bag to freeze the milk. Pour the milk into the bag and freeze it. Spread the milk into a thin layer inside the bag so that it freezes well. Also, remove as much air as possible. Freeze the milk for at least 10 hours. Gently tap the frozen milk with a rolling pin. Transfer the crushed milk ice to a serving bowl. Chilling the serving bowl in the freezer beforehand can help keep the milk ice from melting as quickly. Top with 1.5 ladles of cooled whole red bean porridge. Add 4 tablespoons of condensed milk. Adjust the amount of condensed milk to taste. Add glutinous rice cakes or any other toppings you like to complete the milk patbingsu.
