A discussion on our egroup yesterday had mentioned bubur kacang hijau. It reminded me that there is a packet of kacang merah (kidney beans) in the kitchen. Having never ever cooked this before, it was a good excuse to look up a recipe. Found this in a nyonya cookbook, and was easy to make (less than 5 ingredients!).
1. Soak packetful of kidney beans for around 2 - 3 hours (funnily enough, the skin were all wrinkled up).
2. Boil water in a pot, with daun pandan.
3. Add beans + thinly sliced orange peel (from 2 dried peels).
4. Simmer till soft.
5. Add gula batu (to taste).
6. Stir intermitently to avoid being sticky.
I had to add bit more water in the process, for it became too sweet while it was simmering. Lovely to eat while hot!
