Traditional Dongji red bean porridge with yellow seed dumplings and salt to balance bitterness, resulting in a smooth and rich texture

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The first boiling water of red beans contains tannins that cause bitterness, so it must be discarded to ensure a clean and delicious porridge.
  • Make sure to remove all moisture from the rice before blending to prevent the dough from becoming sticky and to achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Adding boiled old pumpkin to the seed dumpling dough enhances both color and adds a subtle sweetness and nutritional value.
  • Let the shaped seed dumplings dry slightly in a cool breeze to create fine cracks on the surface—this results in a much chewier texture when cooked.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to easily prepare authentic traditional red bean porridge for Dongji.
  • Those who want to enjoy visually appealing porridge with a chewy pumpkin seed dumpling texture.
  • Those seeking a smooth, savory red bean porridge without the typical bean bitterness.
