Introduction to Chinese Desserts: Red Bean, Green Bean and Mung Bean (Yellow Bean) Soup Recipes
It's wonderful how a simple bowl of a traditional Chinese dessert can lift up one's spirits, especially during the cold winter months when the wind is howling outside. 

I'm no expert at making desserts, especially Asian desserts, but these were easy as pea to cook. There isn't really much to it, and the 'recipes' here are more of a guideline. The instructions are quite forgiving, and can be adjusted easily to suit your taste. If you like it thinner, add more water. If you like the beans mushier, leave it boiling on the stove for a longer period of time while you engage in a more pleasant hobby (say, tinkering around your blog). I experimented with an electric hot plate, which cooks faster than a traditional flame stove.
