How to choose good, plump red beans
- You should pay attention to choose the right small, round red beans instead of large kidney beans.
- Choose beans that are bright red, free from pests and have no signs of mold or unpleasant odors.
- Choose firm, plump beans, if you press the red bean with your fingernail and it feels hard without crumbling, it’s a fresh red bean.
- Avoid choosing beans that are too large, as these beans often do not taste good, contain fewer nutrients than smaller beans, and especially tend to have a slight astringent taste when eaten.
Where to buy coconut milk
You can buy Coconut milk in canned form directly at TasteVN supermarkets or purchase online at the e-commerce site bachhoaxanh.com. Additionally, you can make coconut milk at home using a very simple recipe from TasteVN’s guide.
