Food Ingredients:
1 cup Adzuki beans 2 cups Sugar 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Recipe preparation:
1 Wash beans well. Simmer with 4 cups water about 40-50 minutes. Add water if needed to keep the beans covered. When you can squash a bean easily between your fingers, drain the beans and mash them. In a mesh basket over a large bowl, strain the bean mixture in batches by pushing through the mesh under running water (the idea is to leave the bean skins in the basket). 2 Put the liquid you strained into a linen/cotton bag (about 25 cm x 25 cm or 12″ x 12″), and squeeze out the water with your hands by twisting the bag. 3 Have a large bowl of water, and knead the bag in the water (this is to get the bitterness out) changing the water several times. Squeeze the water out at the end as much as possible. 4 Add an equal amount of sugar into a saucepan with the bean paste from the bag. Mix with a wooden spoon and knead over low heat (careful not to burn it). Add salt and mix to desired “stiffness.”
