• 1 cup dried red beans
• 6 cups water
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 cup glutinous rice flour
• ½ cup warm water

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the 1 cup dried red beans and soak in water overnight, or quick-soak by boiling 2 minutes then resting 1 hour.

2. 2

   Drain beans, place in a pot with 6 cups water, bring to a boil, then simmer partially covered until beans are tender, about 1.5 hours.

3. 3

   Once beans are soft, stir in 0.5 cup sugar and simmer 10 minutes more, until slightly thickened.

4. 4

   In a bowl, mix 1 cup glutinous rice flour with 0.5 cup warm water, stirring until a soft dough forms.

5. 5

   Roll dough into 1-inch balls; set aside on a floured surface.

6. 6

   Bring a separate pot of water to a boil, drop in rice balls, cook until they float, about 3-4 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.

7. 7

   Ladle red bean soup into bowls, add rice balls, drizzle with 0.5 cup coconut milk, and top with sliced mango.

8. 8

   Serve warm or chilled, stirring gently to combine flavors.
