INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wash red beans. Place in a saucepan with cold water and bring to a
boil. Then simmer, covered, until beans are soft (about 1 hour). Let cool
slightly.
2. Strain beans through cheesecloth or force through a ricer. (Discard
skins.) Combine beans with sugar and peanut oil.
3. Oil a pan lightly and heat. Add bean mixture and stir over low heat for
5 minutes. (The heat must be very low and the stirring constant to prevent
scorching.)
NOTE: This mixture (used in "Eight Precious Rice") may be made in advance
and frozen. VARIATIONS:
1. For the white sugar, substitute brown sugar.
2. Omit step 3. Beat mixture with an electric beater until thick and
pudding-like.
