  • How many of you know how to make authentic Chinese food? Not many, I'd guess. This simple recipe for a sweet dessert bean soup will help fill that gap. Soak the beans and rice overnight in 400 ml of water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, red beans, and dried mandarin peel. If you don't have dried peel, fresh works too — it just gives the soup a sharper flavor. Cover with four full cups of water and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat and cover the pot. Simmer for about 75 minutes, until the beans have cooked down and turned very soft — if a fork slips into a bean easily, it's ready. Add the sugar a spoonful at a time, stirring constantly until it fully dissolves. Take the mixture off the heat and let it cool. Then fish out the mandarin peel, crush the peanuts, and stir them in. Pour the soup into a blender and blend for 1–2 minutes so the beans break down completely. Serve the soup cold, sprinkled with chopped peanuts. In China, kids love this soup and often eat it for breakfast instead of porridge.
