Sweet glutinous rice is layered with tender red beans for a classic Chinese dessert. This comforting family treat combines chewy and creamy textures in a naturally sweet, wholesome combination.
Rinse the glutinous rice thoroughly and soak in water for at least 1 hour for best texture.
In a medium saucepan, add red beans and enough water to cover. Simmer on medium heat for 45–60 minutes until beans are tender, checking occasionally and adding water if needed.
Drain the beans, then mix in 2 tbsp sugar and 0.5 tsp salt while warm; let cool slightly and set aside.
Drain soaked glutinous rice and add it to a steamer with 4 cups water. Steam over medium-high heat for 30–40 minutes, stirring halfway to ensure even cooking.
Layer half of the steamed glutinous rice in a dish, spread the red bean mixture over, then top with the remaining rice. Sprinkle the final 2 tbsp sugar over the top and let the dish rest 10 minutes before serving for maximum chewiness and creamy integration.
