Wash the red beans well and soak them overnight in enough water to cover them by half an inch to one inch.

The next day, drain the beans and place them in a Ziploc bag, then freeze them.

Soak the dried lily bulb, lotus seed, and dried orange peel in cold water for at least 1-2 hours.

Boil 1.5 liters of water in a pot.

Add the frozen red beans and dried orange peel to the boiling water and stir.

Lower the heat to low and cook for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, ensuring nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.

In a separate pot, boil water and add 4 tablespoons of sago, reducing the heat to low and cooking for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let the sago steam with the lid on for another 10 minutes before straining and rinsing with cold water.
