Ingredients:

1 cup dried red beans
6 cups water
1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
A pinch of salt

Instructions:

Soak the Red Beans:
- Rinse the red beans and soak them in water overnight. This helps them cook faster and softer.
Boil the Red Beans:
- Drain the soaked red beans and add them to a large pot with 6 cups of water.
- Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 1-2 hours, or until the beans are soft and tender.
Add Sugar and Salt:
- Once the beans are cooked, add sugar and a pinch of salt to taste. Stir well to combine.
Simmer and Serve:
- Continue to simmer the porridge for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the desired thickness is reached.
- Serve hot, often with a dollop of whipped cream or a slice of rice cake.

Tips:

For a smoother texture, you can use a blender or food processor to puree the cooked red beans.
You can add other ingredients to Danpatjuk, such as chestnuts, rice cakes, or seeds.
Serve it with a side of glutinous rice cakes (tteok) for a more substantial meal.

Danpatjuk is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It’s a great way to warm up on a cold day and satisfy your sweet tooth.
