How to make red bean paste
Soak the beans.
Transfer the beans to a 2-quart (1.9-l) large bowl and cover them with room temperature water. Cover the bowl with a clean towel to keep out bugs and dirt, and set the bowl aside on the counter.
Leave the beans to soak for 8 to 12 hours. Soaking the beans will help to tenderize them and reduce the boiling time.
