  • anyone else think they should redo the early videos?

  • 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?

  • @eminatic They actually have them in the by the pound dried bean section. I don't live near any markets so it works, thanks for replying to me though.

  • wtf how many cups is 4 ounces X_x

    does anyone know if there is a significant difference in taste when using white sugar?

  • @Ellestril yeah but whole foods is a HUGE RIPOFF! they charge like $8 for a small bag that would cost less than $2 in chinatown.

  • 240p?! What is this?! Africa?!

  • 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!

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

  • @ma7ita nope :I

  • 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

  • can i use red kidney bean instead of azuki bean

  • shes the mom i always wanted.
