How to Quickly Cook Black Beans to Cut Down on Time

One of the ways to quickly cook black beans is to soak them in cold water. You can also soak them in warm water to cut the time in half while still ensuring effectiveness when cooking beans.

On average, most homemakers usually soak beans for about 2-4 hours to meet the requirements. After soaking the beans, you discard the soaking water and proceed to prepare delicious dishes for the whole family to enjoy!

Ingredients Needed for Black Bean Dessert

– 300g black beans

– 300g sugar

– Coconut milk

– Fresh shredded coconut, dried coconut, banana oil, and crushed peanuts.

How to Cook Delicious and Quick Black Bean Dessert without Wasting Time

Step 1: Wash and clean the black beans, removing any small, moldy, or damaged beans floating on the water surface. Then, soak them for about 4-6 hours (preferably overnight) with an added tablespoon of salt.

Step 2: After soaking, take out the beans, rinse them, and put them in a rice cooker. Add enough water to cover the beans about 2 finger-widths and cook. When the dessert pot is boiling for about 5 minutes, switch the cooker to warm mode.

Step 3: Let the dessert pot be in warm mode for about 15 minutes, then switch back to cooking mode to bring the dessert to a boil again. After a few minutes, check and you will see that the beans have become soft.

Step 4: When the beans are soft and fully cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer all the beans to another pot, leaving the black bean liquid in the original pot.

Step 5: Add sugar to the pot and stir together with the beans. Cook over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves into the beans, then turn off the heat.

Step 6: Pour the cooked beans back into the pot with the black bean liquid, add more sugar to taste. To make the black bean dessert smooth and fragrant, mix a little arrowroot powder and vanilla. When serving the dessert, you can also add some fresh shredded coconut and black jelly for a more appealing black bean dessert.
