Preparation

Step 1

Bring 2 cups of water just to a boil in a pot over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, add the azuki beans and 1/4 cup sugar. Cover and simmer until the beans are cooked through, about 3 hours. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Meanwhile, bring the coconut milk to a boil in a pot over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, add the remaining sugar, the salt, and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the warm sticky rice. Cover and allow the rice to soak up most of the coconut milk.

Divide the rice among 4 dessert plates and place about 2 tablespoons cooked azuki beans on each serving.

Variation: Substitute 3/4 cup skinless split mung beans (soaked for 2 hours and drained) for the red azuki beans. In step 1, cook the mung beans with 2 cups water until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
