Posted by Aeri Lee on July 22, 2009 42 comments

I got a gift from my husband. ASSA!!! It was a rice cooker, which is a very important thing in aeriskitchen. I love the color and design of this cooker. After I tried to use it several times, I decided to make this post for somebody who wants to buy a good rice cooker, since I like it very much. My husband researched rice cookers quite a bit before he decided to order this one. Reviews from people helped his decision. So, I will do same thing for you. hehe… The company name is Zojirushi and this model is “Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker & Warmer NS-ZCC10 5.5 Cups” It is made in Japan.

Today, I will introduce you to a Korean summer dessert. Many people from YouTube requested this. It was amazing to see how many people know about this Korean dessert and love it. It is summer now and fortunately, I could find most of the ingredients for potbingsu in the Korean grocery store. Actually, I thought that at least one or two ingredients would be hard to get here, such as the crushed red beans and the special sticky rice cakes for potbingsu. My husband can tell you how happy I was when I saw them in the store. hehe … The ice with red beans, milk, fruits, rice cakes, and corn flakes give it good flavor. Of course, it is a very cool dessert for the hot summer days. Thanks!

Yield: 1 Serving

Red Beans are common in Korean cuisine. This particular type (chunky, not mashed) is for PotBingSu (Korean Summer Dessert). You can make it at home, although it is more convenient to buy it from a store. It is basically boiled red beans with sugar.
