Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2/3 cup dried red beans -- azuki beans

Water -- for boiling

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup oil -- for frying

 

Wash the beans and throw out any that are damaged. Place the beans in a small to

medium-sized saucepan, cover with water and soak overnight. (This helps shorten

the cooking time).

 

The next day, bring the beans and water to a boil. Simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours,

until the beans have softened, adding more water as necessary. Drain.

 

Process the beans in a blender until smooth. Remove from the blender, and stir

in the sugar.

 

Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan. Fry the beans on medium-low heat (about 4

on an electric stove) for a few minutes until they are dry, pressing them gently

with the back of a spatula to form a paste. Cool and use as called for in the

recipe. (Stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, homemade sweet red

bean paste will last for approximately one week).

 

Yields approximately 1 3/4 cups (20 one-tablespoon servings)

 

Prep Time: 8 hours, 00 minutes

Cook Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes

 

Made from azuki beans, sweet red bean paste is used in Sesame Seed Balls and

Sweet Bean Paste Pancakes.
