- 3 Strain the beans through a sieve to obtain a fine powder, discarding the hulls.
- 4 Knead the glutinous rice flour with warm water and roll it into small, finger-sized saealsim balls.

Replace step 2: simmer the red beans (after removing the bitterness) under high pressure for 20 minutes, then release the pressure naturally for 15 minutes. The rice and glutinous rice balls from step 5 should still be cooked with the lid open to prevent the balls from breaking and to easily control the consistency.
