Black bean sweet soup is simply made by simmering black beans with water and adding sugar. When eating, enjoy black bean sweet soup with ice cubes. You can add banana essence to enhance the flavor, a little roasted peanuts, shaved coconut…
However, many people wonder why their black bean sweet soup always has broken or soggy beans instead of intact and plump beans like those in restaurants. The reason is that the beans become broken, making the soup slightly cloudy because the starch from the beans comes out during the cooking process.
Chefs share their experience that although black beans are very simple and easy to cook, to have cool, tender, and delicious beans, a special method is needed. So what is the secret? Let’s refer to the following recipe:
Ingredients for making black bean sweet soup:
– Black beans
– Cane sugar or white sugar or palm sugar, according to your preference
– 1 teaspoon of baking soda
How to cook black bean sweet soup without breaking the beans:
Clean the black beans you have purchased. Any beans that float on the water indicates they are spoiled, so discard them.
Put the beans in a pot of water, boil for about 3 minutes, then drain. This blanching step helps remove all the dirt and impurities from the beans.
Next, pour fresh water into the pot with the black beans. Make sure there is enough water to cook the sweet soup, then continue to bring it to a boil. After the water boils, add a little baking soda and simmer for a while. Then turn off the heat and let the pot of black beans sit until it is almost cool. Adding baking soda to the pot of black beans helps soften the beans quickly without breaking them.
Once the pot of black beans has finished resting, turn on the heat to bring it to a boil again, then reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes until the beans are tender. Then turn off the heat. Pour out some of the black bean water separately. Leave a little bit of water in the pot with the black beans. Add sugar, stir well, and simmer until the sugar is absorbed into the beans, making them firm for about 5-7 minutes or until you feel they have absorbed enough sugar.
At this point, add the black bean water that was poured out before, bring it to a boil, then turn off the heat.
Scoop the sweet soup into a glass or bowl, add ice cubes and a few drops of banana/vanilla essence, then enjoy. This is the simplest way to enjoy black bean sweet soup. If you want to make it more elaborate, you can add a bit of coconut extract, roasted peanuts, or shredded dried coconut or fresh coconut.
