Wash and pick out any broken red beans.

Boil 1 cup of red beans in 4.5 cups of water for 10 minutes over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1.5 hours until beans are tender.

If using canned sweet red beans, skip boiling and use directly.

Prepare fruits by cutting mango and strawberries into small pieces.

Make injeolmi by mixing 1/4 cup glutenous rice flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, and a pinch of salt with 3 tablespoons water. Microwave for 1 minute.

Stir the injeolmi mixture and add toasted soybean powder after microwaving.

Once the beans are cooked, drain excess water if necessary and add 1 cup cane sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Melt over low heat for 5 minutes until shiny.

Use a blender to crush ice until very fine, about 2-3 cups.

In a bowl, layer crushed ice, add 1/4 cup milk, 1 cup sweet red beans, and top with fruits and injeolmi pieces.

Drizzle sweetened condensed milk over the top.
