Instructions

1

Prepare Your Toppings

Open canned sweet red beans and set aside. Slice strawberries, prepare rice cakes, and have condensed milk ready to pour. Having everything prepped before adding ice prevents it from melting too quickly.

2

Make the Ice Base

Crush ice in a blender until it resembles fine snow or use a shaved ice machine for the authentic ultra fine Korean texture. Fill 4 large bowls or cups generously with the shaved ice.

3

Add the Toppings

Spoon sweet red beans generously over each portion of shaved ice. Add rice cake pieces and sliced strawberries on top distributing them evenly among all four servings.

Finish and Serve

Drizzle condensed milk generously over each bowl and dust lightly with matcha powder if using. Serve immediately before the ice begins to melt and let each person mix their toppings into the ice as they eat.

Substitutions

Common mistakes

Making the ice too chunky instead of fine and snowy which ruins the delicate melt in your mouth texture
Preparing bowls too far in advance causing the ice to melt into a watery puddle before serving
