Sweetened Red Beans (Honey Beans)
These sweetened red beans have a soft, fluffy texture and won't dry out or harden after refrigeration. By using the technique of stir-frying to dry, then rehydrating and simmering in stages, you can quickly soften the red beans. Seasoned with red rock sugar and maltose, they are sweet but not cloying—perfect for eating on their own, as a bread filling, or added to hot water for red bean soup.

Introduction
These sweetened red beans have a soft, fluffy texture and won't dry out or harden after refrigeration. By using the technique of stir-frying to dry, then rehydrating and simmering in stages, you can quickly soften the red beans. Seasoned with red rock sugar and maltose, they are sweet but not cloying—perfect for eating on their own, as a bread filling, or added to hot water for red bean soup.
Step 1
Rinse the red beans 2 to 3 times, then soak in water overnight (or at least 4 to 5 hours).
Step 2
Add the soaked red beans to a pot and stir-fry slowly, adding the 300cc of water in three batches, until the bean surfaces appear dry and wrinkled.
Step 3
Add 500cc of water, turn to medium heat, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Once the liquid has reduced, add the second batch of 200cc water, cover, and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
After the time is up, add the third batch of 200cc water, turn to low heat, and simmer covered for 15 minutes until the beans are soft and fluffy.

Important Notes
Soaking red beans overnight yields the best results, but if time is tight, they must be soaked for at least 4 to 5 hours. ⏱️
Dry-frying the beans first and adding water in stages helps break down the skin fibers, speeding up the subsequent softening process during simmering. 💡
Adding maltose provides a glossy finish and locks in moisture, ensuring the beans remain soft and not chewy after refrigeration. ✨
