Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Turn the ice into very fine, snowflake-like shavings with an ice shaver or a powerful food processor.
- Pile equal portions of shaved ice into two bowls, pressing it lightly into a plate shape and leaving a hollow in the centre.
- Spoon plenty of red beans into the hollow.
- Drizzle the top with condensed milk.
- If you like, add rice cake cubes, roasted soybean flour and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, and serve straight away, before the ice melts.

Tips
- The finer the ice, the better the texture; coarse pieces of ice cube do not give the true patbingsu experience.
- Keep the red beans well chilled, otherwise they will warm and melt the ice.
- You can vary the toppings (fruit, ice cream, muesli) freely; the red bean is the only truly traditional element.
- Serve and eat it straight away, as shaved ice melts quickly.
