Anko (sweet red bean paste) Recipe

Azuki red beans (dried)

sugar

water

Put the red beans in a pot with 4-5 cups of water. Let boil for 5 minutes and discard water.

In a clean pot, place the red beans and 4-5 cups of water, cover, and let it simmer at low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours (add more water to keep above the beans). The beans should now be very soft, easily crushed between fingers.

Discard the water again, put the soft beans back in the pot with sugar at medium high heat and constantly stir and mix about 10 minutes until forming a paste that looks shiny but still loose.  Immediately transfer the paste to a container.
