- Hi everybody.
Today I'm making something sweet and cold.
Summertime treat, patbingsu.
Shaved ice with sweet red beans.
These days there are many, many variations
but my favorite is always the traditional way.
It's a sweet red bean.
I'm going to use just one cup.
Red beans, very dried.
But we are going to wash and boil.
First, pick out any stuff that are broken.
So see, this I don't like to eat
and pretty much clean.
Water. (beans rattling)
This is my heavy pan.
And add this and boil.
Add four and a half cups of water and cover.
Let's boil. (stove knob clicks)
Cook this for 10 minutes over medium high heat
until the water boils.
And then I'm going to turn down the heat to low
and kind of simmer for long time.
One and a half hours
until the beans are nicely cooked and tender.
But if you guys are busy just pick up this,
a can of sweet red beans.
You can find this easily at the Korean grocery store,
but homemade is the best.
Now see.
This is very sweet and delicious actually.
But a little mushy.
Looks a little like paste.
It's boiling.
And then turn down the heat to very low.
We need to add some kind of a topping.
So it can be all kinds of fruits.
Your favorite fruits,
tteok rice cake on top,
and also some people use jelly.
But today, I'm using just mango and strawberry.
Mango in Korea is very expensive.
In America, it's cheap.
In Korea. some hotel,
they sell this kind during the summertime.
Special mango patbingsu.
It's using mango, lots of mango, chunks of mango,
and shaved ice and inside even more stuff.
And they sell for more than $100.
Can you believe that? So expensive.
But people go to hotel to eat.
So when you see, you guys see kind of a black dot,
there's a large seed inside.
I can call this mango rib. (laughs)
Beef rib, mango rib.
I'm just eating. That's my bonus.
I will eat it later.
And we just gotta skin this.
I use this way.
So first, put this on my palm and like this,
cut this, cut along the edge,
like this.
Strawberry.
Cut into to small pieces,
around a half cup strawberry.
This is rice cake, injeolmi.
So patbingsu on top,
only a few pieces, small pieces.
That's what I need.
Injeolmi is so easy to make.
I'm gonna show you, especially this is for patbingsu.
Just a small, small amount of rice cake.
We need glutenous rice flour, a quarter cup.
I have so many powders, right?
Mung bean powder, starch powder
and flour, rice flour.
So this is the label.
And then I put it in here, so that I never forget.
So quarter cup only, we'll make injeolmi this amount.
And one teaspoon sugar.
Pinch of salt and three tablespoons water.
Mix it well.
Just plastic wrap.
So a little gap here, and microwave.
One minute.
This is toasted soybean powder.
To make injeolmi, I always need this.
This is soybean powder. (microwave beeping)
So nutty.
See? Very hot.
Look at that.
You see? Like this.
Just stir this.
So like this.
And just some water here because very sticky.
(bright music)
Okay. I left this one.
I'm going to eat.
All the left over soybean powder.
My beans are cooked. Let's check it out.
The smells are good.
The smells always make me excited.
Wow. Usually water is left here.
In that case, drain it.
So now, almost all water is evaporated.
But see, one bean, see. Well cooked.
Cane sugar, one cup, and salt, half a teaspoon.
Vanilla essence, two teaspoons.
And turn on the heat again, just low heat.
So we are going to melt this sugar.
I'm telling you, you can use this sugar substitute.
And probably you guys know this already,
and this is zero calorie sweetener.
So this is Swerve.
I sometimes I use it.
If you can't eat sugar, just use this Swerve.
Now just melting.
You see, shiny and pretty.
Okay, around five minutes.
I just keep stirring
and it should drizzle, like this.
And turn off.
That's it. Sweet red bean.
We made a nice sweet red bean.
In 2011, when I posted my patbingsu video,
it was at the Google office in New York City.
I made patbingsu for 100 people.
Two pots, big huge pots filled
with sweet red beans like this.
I asked the Google people, "We need a shaver,
real ice shaver, really good,
you know, a powerful ice shaver,
can you find this?"
And then somebody who is in charge with that,
she said, "Yes."
But when I got there, she couldn't find.
She brought a big huge ice block
and we brought this cast iron hand shaver,
just hand shaver. (laughs)
And we made this by scratching, scraping the ice,
and made this kind of snow mountain.
And then people lined up
to taste this Korean patbingsu.
So we just gave them and then you know,
the assembling is so easy, piece of cake.
That was a good memory.
Lot of people lining up.
I just ask the question,
"What do you like or how do you like?
Have you ever tasted this kind of thing?"
So many questions, they love it.
(people chattering) (ice shaver scraping)
- My fingers are a little numb.
But otherwise, excellent.
- This is amazing, delicious.
- This is an ice, what is this called?
- Patbingsu. - Patbingsu.
- Shaved ice. - Shaved ice, this is so good.
- It happened 2011.
So now 12 years ago, it happened.
I just miss that time.
Whenever I make a recipe, I tell you,
"Oh, this is like,
I used to make that for my family."
And, "I learned this from my aunt," you know?
All the recipe relating stories are coming out.
But this one is a good memory from Google.
Google, YouTube. (laughs)
You need to cool it down thoroughly
and put it in the container
and keep it in the refrigerator.
It has to be cold because, you know, we shaved the ice.
So we can't use this hot, sweet red bean.
This is sweet red bean I made already last night.
This is made with Swerve, instead of sugar.
One thing is missing.
What is it?
Ice!
Maangchi, where is the ice?
Where is the snow? (laughs)
I gotta make this.
These days, you guys have some nice,
kind of good quality blender at home.
Whatever method you use, just crush
and very fine is better.
It's like snow, right?
I found out my blender really works well.
I don't have to use an electric ice shaver anymore.
But if you guys have an electric ice shaver, use it.
(ice clinking)
About two cup.
Around three cup. You can grind just a little by little.
(blender whirs)
Some milk. Milk around a quarter cup.
And red beans like this.
Wow. It looks good.
Strawberry and mango.
I ground more ice.
Sweet red bean.
This is two cups, so I can make one more time.
One cup, around one cup I use.
And let's put the rice cake.
Last touch, this is sweetened condensed milk.
We got a flag here. (laughs)
Okay, nice.
So this is patbingsu.
You guys can make it. Let's eat.
Okay, this guy is a hyssop.
I planted hyssop.
Yeah, nice.
Rice cake.
Mm, mm. Wow.
Yummy, sweet. And chewy.
Ice and milk. Inside, mango.
Mm, so delicious.
I like to keep eating. (laughs)
Sweet, cold, and mango flavor
and little bit tangy and chewy rice cake.
And of course, the sweet red beans is amazing.
This sweet red bean,
I feel more comfortable because I didn't use sugar.
Make me a little more comfortable.
Today we made patbingsu, Korean sweet dessert,
shaved ice with the sweet bean plus fruits.
Enjoy my recipe.
See you next time, bye!
