    I’m pretty sure Xiao Hong Shu translates to Little Red Note in English. I’m not using it, just clarifying the name to make it seem small / cute. Aduki beans are Xiao hong dou.

      First of all, the name doesn’t translate to “Little Red Note”, but “Little Red Book.”

      Second, Little Red Book is literally the nickname of a Chinese political publication called Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung.

      Sorry, that name isn’t cute at all.
