Sweet Red Bean Soup with Sesame Dumplings Recipe

Sweet Red Bean Soup with Sesame Dumplings Recipe

  • 1 pound dried red adzuki beans
  • 6 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 (16 ounce) can boiled lotus seeds, drained
  • 2 (10 ounce) packages rice-flour sesame dumplings, defrosted
  1. Rinse and pick over beans.
  2. Place beans in a medium saucepan and add 4 1/2 quarts cold water to cover beans. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until very tender, about 2 hours, adding more water if needed to maintain water level at about 1 inch above the beans. Add brown sugar and lotus seeds and set aside.
  3. Fill another large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Drop the dumplings into the water and carefully stir up the dumplings from the bottom of the pot to prevent them from sticking. When the water comes to a boil, add 1/4 cup cold water to the pot, and return to a boil. When dumplings rise to the top, about 3 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon and place 2 into each of the 10 individual bowls that have been filled with red bean soup.
