Red Bean Paste

Red bean paste couldn't be easier than with the Instant Pot and Vitamix! Here's how to whip up the paste in just a few simple steps.

Red beans

Look for dried "Adzuki" or "Adooki" beans at the Asian supermarket. These are very different from red kidney beans and cannot be substituted.
