Red Bean and Glutinous Rice Sweet Soup
When the weather cools, I start craving for sweet soup like this red bean and glutinous rice. The long simmer makes this soup silky and luscious, if I can even describe a soup as that. And the tangerine peel makes the soup smell so fragrant. The coconut milk is optional, some people like their sweet soup a bit creamy, some not. My preference is to add a big tablespoonful of coconut milk into my bowl of soup and make a quick stir to mix it all up. ♥

I just love to spend my spare time in the kitchen to bake & cook as it is very therapeutic. Thanks so much for having all these Chinese recipes as it reminded me when I was in my teens, my mother made Red Bean Soup with small tapioca, Shanghainese meatballs with veggies and other pork dishes .. Love to checkout your recipes & learn from it .. Thanks & Happy Cooking ..
