First of all, the time for the red beans to be boiled and sugared is also very important. Generally, you can cook them until you feel soft, then you can add sugar. The time to add the sugar is very important, add too early, the red beans will not be soft. Don't put sugar first, cook it with sugar, the beans are not easy to soften. Usually after adding sugar, boil for about 10 minutes at this time the red beans will be very soft and delicious.
