Korean Food: Homemade Red Bean Paste (팥 앙금)

[Dcutiey]

Can you sub white sugar for brown or honey??

[nweknwek]

hello, i was wondering if i could boil the beans in a pressure cooker for half the amount of time...

[aeriskitchen]

@nweknwek

Yes you can.. make sure that you have enough water to boil them in a pressure cooker. so I will not get burnt.. (it's difficult to check how much water you have left in a pressure cooker..since you can't open it while you are cooking..)

[raininghard]

I tried making this twice. The first time came out like soup because I just left it. You cannot overcook it or else it will be watery, you got to keep watch and right when it becomes squishable, remove it from the heat! So then you'd get a thicker paste. It took me only 2hrs to get it to squish. Also, you got to use Adzuki beans, not just any red bean, buying from a bulk food store is the best and freshest since those packages at asian markets are most likely pretty old.

[mvwj]

When blending the beans in the blender, is it okay to just add the salt and suger as well?

[aeriskitchen]

@mvwj

you can if you want..

[DaLigger]

what do I do if my paste turns out to be more of a sauce? :(

[aeriskitchen]

@DaLigger

Maybe you put too much liquid when you ground the cooked beans.. Just keep cook the bean paste ..so the liquid will be evaporated and the paste become thicker.. keep stir it.

[hici61]

can I use canned red beans for this?

[aeriskitchen]

@hici61

I thought of it too.. but I didn't try it yet.. so can't tell the result.. we don't have canned beans in Korea like here (America)... so use use dried beans or fresh beans.. another thing.. is My husband said.. he never saw the red bean from can.. I mean..the same kind of red bean I used for this recipe... the red bean from can in usa is different kinds of bean.. so the taste will be different.

[hici61]

@aeriskitchen I'M from germany maybe they'll won't taste that much diffrent here :P

I found the red bean paste in an asian shop yesterday but thank you for your answer! Gonna make your sweet red bean paste bread this weekend :)

[SparklyGoldenEyes]

@hici61 if you can get canned azuki beans try it.

[felderbrannon]

Is sugar added because all recipes using red bean paste sweet? Just wondering if it's necessary to add sugar.

[aeriskitchen]

@felderbrannon

yes.. this paste suppose to be sweet... ^^

[Vicky58150]

Aeri, Can you pleas make 팥빙수??? For Summer????

[aeriskitchen]

@Vicky58150

I already have a video..please check it out. ^^

[33shei]

can you make black bean paste, please??

[aeriskitchen]

@33shei

you mean.. black bean paste noodles or.. black bean paste itself ? I don't know how to make black bean paste itself..

[121dannyboy]

when i cook the beans if the beans break when i rub them but there is still hard bits in the beans does that mean i still have to cook them and what can i do if its a bit runny?

[aeriskitchen]

@121dannyboy

yes.. no worry your beans become mushy when you cook...it's important to cook completely.. you don't want to raw beam flavor from your red bean paste.. so make sure..it's cooked.. thanks

[tanggerrss1104]

Can I use brown sugar ?  Thank you for the recipe ! They don't sell red bean paste at my supermarket

[aeriskitchen]

@tanggerrss1104

yes.. you can use brown sugar..just make sure.. it's sweet enough..

[Kwashi13]

LOL, that is so sweet and I just subscribed to you because I really like Korean food/dishes and I really like that you have a channel to teach us how to cook them! but I just wanted to say - you shouldn't say 'mushy' like that to a German person unless you want to get laughed at. ^^

[aeriskitchen]

@Kwashi13

^^ thanks for a good tip.. It is difficult for me to change my accent.. sometimes..hehe :)

[Kwashi13]

@aeriskitchen Haha. No problem, it's like that for 95% of the people who learn a foreign language I think. :) It takes time.

[hercules98cynthia]

does it have to be asian red beans or can it be any red beans:)

[aeriskitchen]

@hercules98cynthia

it can be any red beans.. ^^ 

[hercules98cynthia]

@aeriskitchen Thank you soooooo much for answering!!!!! im gonna try to make it now :)

[hercules98cynthia]

i love you dessert recipes!!!!!!!

[Paradigmshift2]

I just finished making my red bean paste, but it seems to be a little runnier than what it looks like in the video. It is still hot as it has just come off the cooker. Will it get a little more solid like a paste once it has cooled?

Thank you! :D

[aeriskitchen]

@Paradigmshift2

you are right.. it will become more solid..

[Paradigmshift2]

@aeriskitchen Thank you for your reply! Today I will try making Red Bean Bread for my family and friends!

[facebookfan12]

Please answer fast~

If I divide the ingredients in half, does the time need to divided in half..?

[aeriskitchen]

@facebookfan12

The time for cooking the bean can be various depending on the power (heat) of your stove... so as I showed in this video.. cook the beans until the bean breaks easily with your fingers when you rub them. ^^

[snsdlovermuahahaha]

aeri' i want to make jajangmyun/jajangbob..but i cant find black bean paste at my nearest grocery..and u said that this method cannot be used to make black bean paste right..? So can u make a video/write on your blog on how to make black bean paste? Please.. ^-^

[aeriskitchen]

@snsdlovermuahahaha

sorry but I don't know how to make the black bean paste. We buy it in a store in Korea and don't make it at home. sorry for poor answer.

[B1A4sBeautifulTarge1]

[aeriskitchen]

@B1A4sBeautifulTarge1

[toadassasin]

[MsHeartagramgurl]

Can this method be used to make black bean paste as well for jajangmyeon? oh and do you know how to make the jajang noodles?

[aeriskitchen]

@MsHeartagramgurl

I already posted jajang noodles.. research "Korean Food: Jja-jang Bob (짜장밥)" and no.. it's (the method ) different from black bean paste..

[tokoetin]

i really wanna try !!

[koolilaura]

OMG! i went to the grocery store the other day i just found red beans not the paste! so i just came back like that... i should haf watch this earlier... :( now i wanna make sweet rice cake with red bean paste and i have no red bean! :(

[whirledpeas13]

Aeri, are red beans the same as Adzuki Beans? They are small red beans I have seen at the grocery store.

[aeriskitchen]

@whirledpeas13

I just googled "Adzuki Beans" ..they look same with what I used.. and called red beans..

[krazyklinzy]

I will try when I have time. Thanks, Aeri!! ^.^~

[HitsuHinaFan854]

can i use this method for green beans instead of red beans because i don't have red beans at home but i have green beans it looks like red beans but the color is green

[aeriskitchen]

@HitsuHinaFan854

Well.. the taste will be different.. green beans are not only different in color..the taste is different too..

[sjunghee]

[TheOxnic]

Dear Aeri, when i go to my favourite korean bbq restaurant, they have a side dish of spicy seaweed. The seaweed is not stringy, but leafy and the spicy paste is very sour and sweet. I can't find a recipe for it online, would you please give me an idea of what this side dish could be? Thank you!!

[aeriskitchen]

I will add it to my list and post it someday.. thanks :)

[aeriskitchen]

@springbearsinlove

thanks for your comment.. about your question..yes..very similar..but there are some different parts.. such as.. you have to peel of the skins for the white kidney beans. I will post the recipe too.. thanks

[WonDeringAboutYou]

When you soak it in water- the beans. Do you soak it in hot or cold or warm water? About how long? Thanks. :D Nice work~!

[aeriskitchen]

@WonDeringAboutYou

it doesn't matter..which water you soak in.. i used cold water.. the longer you soak .. the shorter you will need to cook the beans.. I did 3 hours..but you can do over night..

[MikisPantry]

This is Chinese food too! lol...

[visaobenho14]

[KingRyltar]

Just wondering why you didn't just soak the beans over night, close to 24 hours. Would have cut your cooking/boiling time way down. Saving on $/fuel for cooking.

Just an idea doll. Love the recipes, keep them coming.

[aeriskitchen]

@KingRyltar

Yes, you got a good point. Thanks for the good idea. ^^

[KingRyltar]

@aeriskitchen your quite welcome doll

love the videos



[SuzanneBa]

Thanks, it looks a lot easier than I thought it would be.

[KuroiHato69]

Thank you so much for this recipe! I have made it before but mine always came out runny... This is a much better recipe than the one I tried! Going to make some today!!! (^_^)

[mchvlneva]

@aeriskitchen..:is it okay to use any beans/regular beans??..

[aeriskitchen]

@mchvlneva

I think.. each beans have different taste and texture to it... so I recommend you try red bean for this recipe.. there are similar group of beans though.... 

[mchvlneva]

@mchvlneva ohhh...okie..:)) thnx 4 the reply and BTW I like the way you cook it's really easy to understand

[misskasu]

[irresolute]

@aeriskitchen

samgyeopsal?

[monkfan72]

I like your recipe. :)

[mehero33]

wow this looks great. Thanks!

[aquia80]

This looks great! If you do not mind me asking, is there a spicy version to this recipe? Is there any specific type of hot peppers that should be used? I'm thinking of making my own hot pepper infused oil to fry the beans in, something to add more flavor than heat. Or is it better to add peppers directly into the beans? I've never tried to make this myself before. Thanks!

[srainy]

@aquia80 most of the time, if not all the time, red bean paste are used in asian desserts..i dont know why you'd want to add peppers in it lol! a lot of the time asians use beans for sweet dishes rather than savoury like the in the west..

[aquia80]

@srainy I have seen seen it used in Korean, Thai, and Chinese style cooking. Adding a little dab to sauce will give it a great flavor. I live in the Asia-Pacific and see it in foods all of the time at restaurants or food stands. I don't care if its are traditional or not, it tastes so good. There are no rules to cooking- everything goes! :o)

[aeriskitchen]

@aquia80

Oops,, to be honest, I don't see a recipe.. combining red bean paste and hot pepper... maybe close thing I can think is.. red bean prroidge.. we eat it with kimchi which is spicy food..but again..the hot peppers are not not in the red bean paste dish itself though..

[miinhdadream924]
