Yup, tell me about it!

Sayang, sayang, :grphug: We are in it together! :hugs:

for red beans (my family only like red beans), i will boil it overnite, put in thermal pot, take it out the next am to boil, put in thermal again. you can repeat this action a few times till you get the softness you like. very simple and fast job.


i dont put pot on stove for half hour that long, once water boils, it will be put into thermal.

my big thermal pot has been with me for more than 10 years.

Hi LOLMum, what do you mean by boiling overnight? How do you do that? Using the slow cooker? Or do you repeat the process several times in order to get the soft texture? Thanks.

Yes, the trick is cooking it a bit longer over the stove. Good luck in your next attempt. I meant to cook tau suan over the CNY weekend, but did not get down to doing it because the you tiao stalls were still closed. Will probably do it this weekend.

Mmmm... tau suan's yummy! :drool: :drool:

hmm....tau suan, my favourite too. :love: .
it has been a long time since my last cook, becos prob buying you tiao....
often, after buying the you tiao, since it was so crispy,
it would be all gone b4 the tau suan is cooked

i think LOLmum meant that she boils the red beans and left in the thermal pot overnite,
then take it out to reboil again the next a.m.
