Instructions
- Mise en Place
Gather the red bean, water, sugar, salt, shaved milk ice, condensed milk, and fruit, then set out a saucepan, sieve, bowls, spoon, and ice shaver. · 5 min
What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.
- Boil Red Bean
Rinse the red bean under cold water, then cover it with the measured water in a saucepan and bring it to a lively boil over high heat. · 10 min
What to look for: The water bubbles strongly and the beans move in the pan.
- Simmer Red Bean
Simmer the red bean gently until it crushes easily between fingers and the cooking liquid is mostly absorbed. · 55 min
What to look for: The beans look plump and tender with only a little liquid left.
- Sweeten Red Bean
Stir in the sugar and salt, then cook over low heat until the topping is glossy and spoonable with some beans left whole. · 8 min
What to look for: The syrup lightly coats the beans and no dry sugar remains.
- Cool Red Bean
Spread the sweet red bean in a shallow bowl and chill until cool, so it will not melt the shaved milk ice on contact. · 20 min
What to look for: The bean topping is cool, thick, and glossy.
- Prepare Fruit
Cut the fruit into bite sized pieces and keep it chilled while you set out 8 serving bowls. · 5 min
What to look for: The fruit pieces are even and juicy with clean edges.
- Shave Milk Ice
Shave the milk ice directly into chilled bowls, piling it high and loose without pressing it down. · 8 min
What to look for: The ice looks fluffy, pale, and snowlike.
- Add Toppings
Spoon red bean over each mound, scatter fruit around it, and drizzle condensed milk evenly over the top. · 5 min
What to look for: Each bowl has a generous bean topping, bright fruit, and a milky drizzle.
- Serve Immediately
Serve immediately while the ice is fluffy, with a spoon for mixing the red bean and condensed milk through the milk ice. · 1 min
What to look for: The bingsu is cold, snowy, and just beginning to soften at the edges.
