What Is Azuki? / How to make Sweet Red Bean Paste

[ttz100]

I'm Japanese. As an example, I have been cooking this way in my home.

But this is not "An" or "Anko" paste. This is way of "Zenzai".

I think be use the raw brown sugar better than granulated sugar.

Thereby become natural taste.

About the amount of sugar, It as you wish.

And when you put the water, please put a little bit many water.

And discard the boiled water is only once enough.

Because, Will be compromised original flavor of beans with too much boiled.

I was going to watch it but I couldn't make it past 60 seconds. Oh well, back to Youtube search.

How did the beans make their way from the Himalayas to Korea before making their way to China? Isn't China between the Himalayas and Korea... lol

[umbalaba]

Aw perhaps beans are not good cross country runners, but they move quickly enough from my plate and into my mouth and all too soon the plate is empty ;-)

[danieldelaney]

[ikebanaJc]

How about making a Slavic dish don't see much of those around.

[danieldelaney]

@ikebanaJc sure that could be great!

[thePowerPlant]

Oh yeah! Adzuki beans wrapped into mochi skin, daifuku, is the tops! I love that stuff. Making it though, can be a hassle (as well as a cause for many burns!). I also really like the Chinese applications too, like moon cakes and baozi. IT really is a versatile ingredient that can be used for sweet and savory type dishes. When making an I find it really helps with the texture to mash it up as fine as possible. Otherwise the skins make the paste feel gritty in the mouth.

[danieldelaney]

@thePowerPlant Good tips! Thanks!

[whoobonhooaglo]

awesome work! You should really put all these recpies online or at east in a easy to follow text. Id love to recreate many of these more complex foods you serve (ie mole, this red bean paste) Suggestion for wtf: cannabis, or hemp seeds. Its kinda controversial but I feel its widely misunderstood by many. ps Im soo excited for the mochi episode!!! Mmmm WTF!

Thanks again for theese videos!!

[danieldelaney]

@whoobonhooaglo I am hoping to! When my website comes up, it will have all the recipes on it. Just taking longer than expected.

[PlatypusGuitar]

I also saw cucumber and yogourt flavored pepsi from japan. I never tasted it though

[danieldelaney]

@PlatypusGuitar haha - yea. I haven't had any of them yet.
