Rick, do you have a good recipe for creamed basil tomato soup? I am looking for a recipe that is like the one I had in Baltimore Community College. With cream and basil I think--It was so good---I do not remember which of the Community Colleges in Baltimore. The troupe that I used to belong to were performing there and that was the food that they prepared for us. With bread. Just delicious !
Cooking bean? I have a recipe for a green bean soup (with sugar) and eaten with coconut. It said that the beans should be soaked in water for 12 hours.

In another recipe also for dessert but using black sticky / sweet rice, it is also soaked first but also not add the sugar until at the end, just like Jill said, do not add salt, in this case, do not add sugar until sticky rice has softened. Although I am writing about different beans and rice, I think it is the technique of how to cook it may be similar.
I like to eat rice porridge. The Woks of Life suggested to use frozen cooked rice to make rice porridge quickly. A friend from China that I had while I was in Heidelberg taught me to stir fry the raw rice with ground pork and some garlic in some oil, until both pork and rice changed color, and the garlic cooked (pork becomes white and the rice becomes opaque), only then add water or chicken broth and turn the heat to low after it comes to a boil. And it has worked for me. And then eat it with fermented turnip (chai po-- sold in a round jar) and yu tiao (the long fried dough) I wish I had them today, so tasty when it is cold. I also have the recipe for the yu tiao, but too lazy to make. Sometimes I also break an egg into the bowl before adding the piping hot porridge.
