The key is to boil the red beans thoroughly before adding sugar. The amount of sugar in the recipe is only a guideline, so try tasting it and finish it to your preferred sweetness. In general recipes, a small amount of salt is added to enhance the sweetness, but in order to avoid any impurities, this recipe seasons only with sugar.

How to make it
1
Put the red beans in a pot, add enough water to cover and let it soak for 30 minutes.
2
Place it on a heater and bring to a boil and wash it under running water to let the scum go away. Fill the pot with water again and simmer over low heat for about 3.5 hours.
3
Add about 1/3 of the total amount of sugar and simmer over a heat that does not boil. Add remaining sugar in 2-3 portions. After simmering for about 20 minutes, remove from the heat and pour into a bowl.

Topped with sweet chestnut stewed in sweet chestnuts, it's finished.
