Selecting pumpkins at the vegetable market. The pumpkin I bought this time is orange-red in color and looks delicious at first glance (๑´ڡ`๑)Step 2
Peel and cut into piecesStep 3
Wash the red beans and red dates. I use a pressure cooker, so there is no need to soak the red beans in advance. If you use a stew pot, the time will be longer, three hours is the best. If you use a pressure cooker, it will be soft and glutinous in ten minutes after half boiling.Step 4
Add water. The water should just cover the pumpkin. Add a little brown sugar or rock sugar. If you are not sure how much to add, you can add sugar later. Pumpkins in autumn are very sweet, so add less sugar.Step 5
Red beans can also be replaced with mung beans. In summer, pumpkin and mung bean soup can clear away heat and reduce internal heat. In autumn, red beans can replenish qi and blood. It is very suitable for babies during menstruation.Step 6
