Red bean sweet soup is the dessert every Hong Kong dessert house has on the menu, and Shun Nam makes it the Cantonese way: red beans simmered until soft and starting to break down into a thick, sandy soup, sweetened gently and perfumed with aged tangerine peel, whose warm citrus note is what sets Hong Kong red bean soup apart. Hearty and comforting warm, refreshing chilled, and a natural base for red bean ice with evaporated milk. Shun Nam desserts come in a retort pouch with no preservatives or artificial colouring, so they keep at room temperature. Shake well before opening. Serve hot by standing the sealed pouch in boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes, or pour into a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 90 seconds at 800W; never microwave the foil pouch itself. In summer, chill the pouch in the fridge and serve cold.
