In case you are wondering, this is not really a photo of an actual Chinese Red Bean Soup. This is a Chinese Red Bean Soup toy which I got for 5 HKD out of a bubble toy machine. (More here about bubble toy machines from which you can get cool food toys!) Looks pretty delicious for plastic, eh?
I thought so too, and so got inspired to make the real Red Bean Dessert Soup, a classic traditional Chinese dessert. This little bowl of sweet yumminess after a full Chinese dinner will hit the sweet spot and round off a pleasant meal. Red Bean Soup , or 紅豆沙, is easy to make at home and as usual, homemade is way better than the ones you can taste in restaurants and dessert shops.
