On my daughter's final day of winter vacation, I made these adzuki beans a day earlier than the official "kagami biraki" (day to break open the ornamental New Year's omochi decoration).

Gently stir the zenzai while simmering until it thickens into a delicious chunky bean paste. Recipe by Yukirinrin

Steps

1

Rinse the adzuki beans and put them into a pot with enough hot water to cover them. Heat over high heat. When it comes to a boil, add water and let it return to a boil.
2

Drain Step 1, rinse off the scum, and then return to the pot with fresh water (about 5 times the amount of the beans) and heat over high heat.
3

Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, then simmer while adding water until the beans become soft enough to squish between your fingers.
4

Add the raw cane sugar, then adjust the taste with salt. Cook the mochi, then serve together with the adzuki beans.
