The night before preparing to cook red beans, soak the red beans in water for one night. You can soak in the refrigerator when it is hot. Wash the soaked red beans, put them in a pot to boil, then skim off the floating foam and simmer with low fire. The red beans in the pot will soon be boiled and cooked faster in the pressure cooker.

Fully soaked red beans can also be cooked in this way. After boiling, turn off the fire after boiling for about 1 minute. No need to open the lid, just stew until the water is cold, which is super fire-saving.

The disadvantage of this method is that some nutrients will be lost, and the red bean paste made after long-term soaking is not ruddy enough. You'd better not cook it like this.

Second, the boiling soaking method

Wash the red beans that have not been soaked, add the red beans after the water in the pot is boiled, continue to cook for 3 ~ 5 minutes after boiling again, and turn off the fire and soak for about 30 minutes. Reheat it after 30 minutes, and it will rot in about 10 minutes.

This method of cooking red beans is good, with less nutrient loss and less fire. It will be better and faster if cooked in a pressure cooker.

Third, repeated stewing method

This method is more suitable for people with enough time, which is time-consuming but saves fire. After washing the red beans, put them directly into the pot, cook, stew, cook again, stew again, and repeat for up to 3 times to cook.

Repeated stewing can also be done in this way. Put the red beans into the pot, put less water first, add a little cold water after boiling, add cold water after boiling, and cook the red beans several times.

Fourth, dry frying and stewing method

Put the red beans into the pot, stir-fry them on low heat until they are slightly yellow and fragrant. It's easy to boil them with water at this time.

Five, freezing method

After washing red beans, soak them in clear water for about 30 minutes until they completely absorb clean water, put them into small bags and put them in the freezer. Take it out when you need to cook it, and it will rot if you cook it a little.

Six, pressure cooker cooking method

Put the washed red beans in a pressure cooker, boil them over high fire, and stew them over low heat 15 minutes until cooked. You can also cook in a pressure cooker like this. After boiling, switch to low heat and continue cooking for 5 minutes. It will rot after turning off the fire. This cooking method saves fire, but it takes some time.

Supplementary explanation:

1. No matter which method is used to cook red beans, the new red beans of that year are easier to cook, and the old ones need to be cooked for a long time.

There are many different varieties of red beans, and each variety is difficult to cook. In addition, most red beans can be cooked in ordinary pot, pressure cooker, braised pot or slow pot, but one kind of red beans can only be cooked in fast pot.

3. When cooking red beans with an ordinary pot cover, leave a gap for steam to come out, so as to avoid the red bean soup overflowing the pot.
