Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Using a non-stick saucepan can make cleanup easier.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the saucepan and sauté until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the drained red kidney beans, ketchup, and water.
Ensure the beans are well coated with the sauce.
Simmer the mixture until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and sugar as needed.
Add sugar gradually to balance the flavors.
Serve the beans warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with rice or bread for a complete meal.
