This Man's Cook Red Bean Porridge

Cooking tips
- Red beans harvested after May, especially during summer, tend to be moist and may develop a bitter taste, so always discard the first boiling water.
- If the beans are undercooked and still crunchy, the porridge may develop a fishy flavor—ensure they are boiled until completely soft and malleable by hand.
- Adding sugar to the bean broth while cooking causes it to ferment and thin out; add sugar only to taste just before serving.
- Both the prepared bean broth and rice pearls can be portioned and frozen. When thawing, allow them to come to room temperature naturally to maintain proper thickness.
