Recipe

Season washed kidney beans with salt, then alternately coat with rice flour and water misting three times for even coverage.
Steam over medium heat for 10 minutes, then spread thinly on a tray and air-dry in sunlight for 2 hours.
Fry the beans twice—20 seconds then 15 seconds—in hot oil to achieve crispiness, then add raw sugar or sugar to taste.

Cooking tips

Using glutinous rice flour may cause the beans to clump together and turn sticky, so success depends on using dry rice flour that prevents sticking and ensures crispiness.
Adding too much flour at once can result in thick, uneven coatings that easily flake off. Apply flour in small portions—about one spoonful at a time—and mist with water between each layer to ensure firm adhesion.
For better crispness, lift the basket halfway through frying to expose the beans to air and friction before returning them to the oil, allowing moisture to evaporate fully and maintaining crunch longer.
