Stove top:

ingredients:
- 1 cup red beans
- 3 cups water
- 1/4 - 1/2 cups sugar / 冰糖 / 片糖

1. 紅豆跟水,比例是 1:3 即一杯紅豆,用三杯水煮。糖就因應個人口味而定。

2. 紅豆預先沖水洗凈。然後浸水(泡水)三至四小時。如果浸上半天更好,可以縮短煮豆的時間。然後撈起。

3. 三杯水下鍋,先用中大火煮至大滾(煮開),隨即加入紅豆,再滾後,立即調至小火。通常煮至水剛收乾,紅豆就已經很軟身了。最好用不黏底的煲。因煮至水乾時,也不容易黏底。

4. 在水還剩下三份一時,就下冰糖。因為冰糖很大塊,要先舂成小碎塊。繼步加糖,直至滿意為止。因個人口味不同,喜歡的甜度也不一樣。要調較。

note: 
1. 白糖方便,冰糖味較清甜,片糖帶庶香。
2. 如果紅豆未夠軟身前,水份不夠的話,可以加適量的滾水(開水)繼續煮。
