How to Make Zenzai & Anko (Japanese Red Bean Sweets) ぜんざいと餡子の作り方

[Narutophin]

240p?! What is this?! Africa?!

[Ellestril]

Just made my first batch ^_^ I found that if you almost deglaze the pan with water or your boiling liquid during the reducing stage of the anko, you can improve the texture quite a bit. Anyone looking for azuki beans, whole food markets carry them!

[samwow125]

She's the mom I have, except Mexican! If I tell my mom I want to do something like this she'll be like "it better be good!" Ahaha :3

[ma7ita]

can i use red kidney bean instead of azuki bean

[MyMiserableMindset]

@ma7ita nope :I

[SugoiAsano]

@ma7ita You can. The texture and flavor might be slightly different

[Brittneyisradd14]

shes the mom i always wanted.

[LauraRose0227]

Aww sleepy Francis!!

[MarieFace]

what kind of sugar are they using?

[TachieBillano]

@MarieFace: It's called "natural brown", "raw" or "washed" sugar. It's partially refined sugar, just a few steps away from the more common white granulated sugar. In Asia, we use this rawer sugar when we want to use something less processed (more "organic"), or cheaper. Note: This "raw" sugar has a different level of sweetness from brown sugar (which frequently has molasses added) or the really dark turbinado/muscovado sugar (which is even less refined than natural brown sugar).

pshh...HAHAHAHAHHA



[AdmirAder]

Doggy dont sleep :3

[nadzzz123456]

looks yummy

[kpwonder15]

could i used can beans?

[chineezdancer]

@kpwonder15 - I don't know what you mean by can beans, but this dish needs to be made with azuki, aka red beans. Red beans are naturally sort of sweet, so if you were to use a different kind of bean like black bean, pinto bean, kidney bean, etc. it would most likely taste nasty. This recipe is also for raw beans, so if you did manage to find canned red beans, this recipe is for cooking them dried, thus all the soaking and boiling steps. Anko, the bean paste can also just be bought in a jar.

[chiangjudy]

oh i really love this dog!! so cute!!

[GuitarRawks2010]

at 2:25 did the narrator jus said police watch our vidoe or plllleeease watch our video hahas

[lula1699]

[smileyraw]

More sugar!!!? jesus you'd get high from this lol

[TheElin73]

i like it very much!!!

[yeucafe]

Would you plzz post a video teaching how to make a green tea cake?

[chibiyaten15]

paul hogs enzyme-linked laptop and that is to be done will bowls. lawls closed captioning. but this is channel is epic! xD

[headphonic8]

TO EVERYONE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE THIS: SOAK THE BEANS OVERNIGHT. If not, your beans will not be malleable even after the 30 minutes. I made the mistake of not soaking them, and I basically wasted half of my beans. I'm going to try it again with the rest of the beans, and I'll report back.

Also, if we're ONLY making the anko, how many oz of beans should we cook?

[jazzierocks1999]

@headphonic8 Mine was perfect! Tasted yummy!!! Perhaps you should try a different company of red beans?

[Asakura250]

OMG Francis falling asleep is so cute !! I think I'll get diabetes eating all these sweets ....... Oh well :D

[paqvea]

0:37 at lol heat XD

[LMTR14]

anyone else think they should redo the early videos?

[Thegus0]

I hope you tried to have sex

[DistinctiveSound]

@Thegus0 XD my stepdad's going to kill me, it's 3 in the morning and I'm literally rotfling!!!

[ladythreecats]

what kind of flavour has the green tea powder, is it sweet????

[LaCherryPanda]

@ladythreecats It's really bitter >.<

[ladythreecats]

@LaCherryPanda thank you for your answer :)

[strawberry319]

@LaCherryPanda but when you taste it with the dango and the red bean, it matches :) you're not supposed to have it by itself?

[LaCherryPanda]

@strawberry319 Aha I supose not, but I get curious as to what things taste like on their own, even if it is meant to be eaten with something else :D

[strawberry319]

@LaCherryPanda HAHA i know what you mean xD me too lol ^^

[Xing4589VN]

look so delicious!!!!

[Befla]

what the fuck is "kidsoft"? :D

[Gaehhn]

@Befla

and what the hell is "lol heat"?

[ChitteringFiend]

I need help. I do as it is shown in the video, but my anko never comes out smooth. I also can't find a store in my area that sells premade anko. I really want to make the ichigo daifuku, but without this it's proving to be quite a struggle. any suggestions?

[Salinea]

@ChitteringFiend You may not be cooking the beans long enough which will prevent them from mashing well. On the other hand, if you're still having trouble, you may want to try and put the anko in a blender/food processor while it still has a lot of water in order to make it into a puree, then carefully simmer out the water to prevent it from burning. A double boiler might be best for that method.

[ChitteringFiend]

@Salinea Thanks. I'll give it a try. I found a different recipe that worked a little better, but still not all the beans mashed. I'll give the blender a try and see if that works.

[yukiryoki]

I love the end!!! The dog started to fall asleep..><

[femalephantomdimes5]

I finally found a store that sells azuki beans!! YAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!

[manhidnatao]

[RiisaX]

[bellzlp27]

this taste so good !

[Forestimp45]

Interesting and (I'd imagine) yummy food, clear instructions, and a cute mascot. A tripple threat! ^_^ I'm inspired to make some of these now!

[rikafurudesan]

noooo don't eat the food else pretty music go bye bye noooo

[Jagoda2103]

Seriously am I still watching these videos 2 hours later? lol. I love these videos!!!! Absolutely geniously done, easy to watch and to the point:))) Thank you sooo much for these!!:)

[xxcristedxx]

hmm how much sugar do i add for the anko? thanks!

[elenanicol]

@xxcristedxx click on the information for the video, and the ingredients list and quantities are there :)

[darknessZryuu]

why did mine turn out very dry and theres even a whole of a red bean in inside i thought it should be mashed and soft to eat but mine became dry and need to bite the red bean......

[theuglykwan]

@darknessZryuu Perhaps undercooked or not enough water. A good tip they did not mention is to soak the beans overnight - that makes them easier to cook. If you deliberately mash it too thoroughly you will end up with red bean paste instead.

[Kanomcale627]

I will make dango this day ^^

[vappole]

You're torturing the poor dog!!!

[lordi013]

The dog is on diet

[calley319]

Rather than making the red bean paste, is there anywhere I can buy it? Like Publix or something...?

[selbydate16]

Francis gets better behaved later on. I do feel sorry for him herer, though!

[TheRowRo]

where the fuck is healt inspection dogg on the kitchen desk....

[ultrastupido]

@TheRowRo He's actually on a stool, not on the desk. Also, this isn't a restaurant and the lady can do whatever she wants.

[Chocolatex0120]

@TheRowRo This isn't a restuarant the dog isn't on a desk he''s on a stool!!!!!!!!!!

[lsg5200]

i don't understand why so many people cannot cook the red beans soft. i followed every instruction in the video and i cooked a whole bunch of red beans soft and nice.

[Pilladdiction]

Red beans, is it kidney beans?

[lightwaveify]

@Pilladdiction No, it is called Azuki beans. I get it from Asian market. the pakage usually said red beans and sometime Azuki beans. Some health food store also carry it.

[lightwaveify]

@Pilladdiction No, it is called Azuki beans. I get it from Asian market. the pakage usually said red beans and sometime Azuki beans. Some health food store also carry it. Oh and it is not Mexican red beans.

[tpmm1]

I love it. Fantastic video!

[animelover11039]

The sugar they used is light brown sugar I think. Light brown sugar differs from dark due to the amount if molassis used. :)

[motokoHEARTS]

cue: *homer drooling*

[frozenslumber]

I'm curious as as to what kind of sugar that is.

[JelloOnWeb]

tried to make anko last night with small red beans from walmart but they didnt really turn into the paste like shown in the video. Is there another type im supposed to get?

[hanzimaster]

next time use metric units (eg: mg, g, kg)

[TheCodeEcho]

SUUUUUUGOOOOOOOOOOOIIIII

[ALOLALALOLALO]

Hinata's ( Naruto ) favourite food.. :)

[Sephi3500]

What do you mean with 7 Oz like "Azuki Beans (read Beans) (7 oz)"

please answer

[hoershey]

@Sephi3500 7 Oz is the equivalent of 200 grams! So, no worries!

[OH2]

@Sephi3500 Measure doesn't matter because you're not seasoning WITH the beands. You can use as much beans as you want. Seasonings, on the other hand, should be measured.

[anotherdawn93]

the doggggg is sooooo cuteeeeee >.<

[bleachgirlish]

Yummy recipe. Must try it. Love the ending with Francis dozing off. Too cute! :D

[VinitheVcubeVIP]

i swear the music is the same each video

[TheVideoGuardian]

@VinitheVcubeVIP It's "Minute Waltz", it says so in the video description. It's in the public domain, so no copyright issues.

[mewmewgiuliana]

Thanks!!!!

[AzfarulGiantz]

the end was so cute <3

[KazuxVincent]

i want to take the dog home with me

[nuttynud]

mmmm!!Oishi!!hehe

[firewolf101]

i love how in every video the dog is either asleep or looking at the lady like "can I please have some? i've been a good doggy, honestly"

[likenya5]

hey can u stuff the paste INSIDE of the dangos if u want 2 ? cause thats wat im goin' 2 do

[xSuperXFailurex]

@likenya5 absolutely, the thing is,, it then becomes a recipe for MOCHI! mochi is prepared a bit differently, as its steamed after filling, but i guess that steaming isnt necessary if you just want to stuff the things and eat it like that. i, however, sugest steaming cause it becomes soooo much better, and fluffy<3 i hope this helped. btw, recipes for mochi are all over youtube!

[xSuperXFailurex]

@likenya5 i forgot theres strawberries involved. dont steam if you want to incorporate strawberries in any way whatsoever XD hmmm.. strawberryjam mochi.. no.

[NeteNeteNe]

@likenya5 That's what mochi is for-- Dango is supposed to be nothing more than a dumpling. Putiing a filling in it will just make it mochi on a stick XDD ( Besides, they're pretty small for filling... )

[cassieluvsmusic01]

what happens when he dog dies!!?D:

[Yoisaki1]

the dog is so well behaved. stop mking fun of the presence of the dog!

[Snakecharmer95]

@Yoisaki1 darn you took what i was going to say. o well cant have everything i guess :)

[nutella871]

Does anyone know if I'm suppose to soak the anko before cooking them?

[mewmewgiuliana]

Thanks for anko recipe!!!! :3

[GAEUL1985]

i like the LAST part. Francis was SO cute. lol

[spygal124]

hahahahahahah pause at 3:10 she dosnt look liek shes enjoying it

[ardado21]

I'd like to have Francis as my cooking teacher!

[skullreaper38]

the dog fell asleep, then she started laughing and then woke up...lol kawaii

[hilty202]

I have GOT to make this, it looks SO good. <3

[noodlesthebunny]

that lady is a genius

[Gell1welt69]

It sounds like Ken Tanaka

[Mroinkypoinkable]

@ghostfire1234 i would want to eat maybe... about double what she made here?

[dagger09]

I have a quick question, can you use any type of red beans or are they a special type that can only be found in Asian markets? =3

[asininityy]

@dagger09 its the asian ones

[HINIMIT]

@dagger09 anko red beans is usually used.

Although..it takes me forever to cook the anko until soft. (3 hours+?)

[Starlitenightfall]

@HINIMIT I think maybe it was 30 minutes for them because they might have soaked the beans overnight? That lessens the cooking time I think. I did not soak them overnight so I'm on hour 2 of cooking..@o@

[HINIMIT]

@Starlitenightfall I tried soaking them overnight many times too. >.>

Last time they cooked a >little faster<, but not until they're soft.

Maybe...soak for a few days..rofl.

[AZNjimmyKID]

how come every Japanese treat look so god dam tasty? gah i wish i lived in japan

[Mroinkypoinkable]

how many red beans would i need if i only want to make zenzai?

[ghostfire1234]

@Mroinkypoinkable

that depends how much can you eat?

[HeianAesthetic]

If you are lucky enough to live by an asian grocery store, you can find this sweet red bean paste premade in the refrigerated area. I just bought some today. :)

[ItsMsMargie]

Cute Cute dog.

[sasuke5088]

the 30 minutes doesn't seem accurate.. I just attempted it and they weren't soft

[cutedogrl]

@Dtvalh

lols me too!

[Rowena98675]

could you used canned sweetened red bean as a substituent for cooked beans to make anko?

[falluhatersgofurself]

Dango, dango, dango, dango. Dango daikazoku.

[Dtvalh]

@falluhatersgofurself awww I wanted to say the same! :O

[MusicFeedsYourSoul]

0:09 OMG THAT'S SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jack35496]

Great video, thanks for the upload!

[ILPICCOLO55]

3:01 ANDANGO！

[surya5802]

looks delecious.but tat dog makes it ugly.

[berrybell89]

Zzzz... haha so cute! XD Thx luv ur vids!* X3

[xxchocobun89xx]

so in conclusion you just need to wash the beans 3-4 times and then mix it with sugar until the boil right?

[shiningstar189]

@xxchocobun89xx yea but the beans may take a while since red beans take 1 or 2 hours to boil Xp. and check if the beans are soft and smooth...but its very good :) and satisfying

[sapphiwen]

I find that the red beans usually don't become soft enough if you follow this video and will result in anko with chunks of white center of red beans. Maybe they have to be soaked before?

[InfatuatedZoo]

I don't see how the whole obesity discussion is related to this video, but this demonstration is very informative, and I must say your poodle is extremely well behaved! Great video and thank you for posting -- I can't wait to try this out!
