Method

1. 1 Soak red beans for 8 hours, then boil them until soft. Discard the first batch of water to remove the bitterness.
2. 2 Grind whole, coarse beans until they are broken, then mix in a little salt to make a coating.
3. 3 Mix the rice flour with water and salt, then sift thoroughly.
4. 4 Spread a layer of beans on the bottom of the mold, then cover with a layer of flour, and then another layer of beans.
5. 5 Steam over high heat for 25 minutes, test with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, it's cooked. Let it sit for another 5 minutes before removing from the steamer.
