Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the dried adzuki beans and put with 700 ml of water in a sauce pan. Discard any beans floating on the surface. Put on high heat and bring to a boil.
- 2
After bringing to a boil, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes.
- 3
Drain the beans through a colander and rinse in running water. Handle gently to not damage the beans.
- 4
Return the beans to the pan and add 700 ml of water. Bring to a boil.
- 5
After bringing to a boil, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes.
- 6
Drain the beans through a colander and discard the cooking liquid. Repeat Steps 4 to 6 again.
- 7
Return the beans to the pan and add 600 ml of water. Put on high heat and bring to a boil.
- 8
After bringing to a boil, reduce the heat to low. Skim off any scum on the surface.
- 9
Add 3 tablespoons of cold water several times to lower the temperature and keep on cooking until the beans are tender.
- 10
Divide the sugar into 4 portions and add one after another. Stir well every time you add the portioned sugar. Add salt and mix well.
- 11
At this point you've finished making the zenzai red bean soup. I halved the portion and made one into zenzai and another into anko.
- 12
For the anko, simmer the adzuki beans over low to medium heat while stirring with a heatproof plastic spatula so that the bottom doesn't burn.
- 13
It's done when the adzuki beans start to look heavy and can be brought together into a thick paste.

This is a really basic recipe for cooking adzuki beans. It's easy and tasty, so it's how I usually do it. I like to serve it as-is as sweet red bean soup, so I don't add any salt, but feel free to do so.While cooking the beans, ensure that they are always covered in water. Add water as necessary (check every 30 minutes).If you want to make it less sweet, reduce the amount of sugar to 150 g.Mashing some of the adzuki beans while cooking them will make a countryside-style adzuki soup.

Simple Zenzai with Chunky Sweet Aduki Bean Paste Simple Zenzai with Chunky Sweet Aduki Bean Paste
I usually use homemade tsubu-an when making manju, but sometimes I can't use it all up. That's when I make zenzai using leftover tsubu-an. Sometimes I serve it without mochi. The flavor and subtle sweetness of the aduki is still very satisfying.I created this recipe based on the premise of using homemade tsubu-an, but you could of course use the store-bought variety.If the tsubu-an is unsalted, add a pinch of salt to improve its sweetness.It's also good with mochi cooked in hot water. For 2 servings. Recipe by Kamoshian -

[Farmhouse Recipe] Anko for a Rustic Sweet Adzuki Bean Soup [Farmhouse Recipe] Anko for a Rustic Sweet Adzuki Bean Soup
I made a stock of anko, so on occasion, I use it to make oshiruko (sweet red bean soup), ohagi, or other kinds of treats.The total simmering time for the adzuki beans to become tender varies greatly depending on how fresh they are, so check the pot from time to time. They should be simmered until they can be easily crushed between your fingers, and are plump and cooked through.While the beans are simmering, don't stir them up too much. Recipe by FarmersK -

California Farm Miso Soup and Natto Paste California Farm Miso Soup and Natto Paste
Every year, I make the basis for miso soup, two tubs of fresh natto paste from 4 Tbs of old natto paste and fresh soy beans, keep them in the fridge. In case one tub goes bad, I always have the second tub to continue with. I use one pound plastic tubs. One plastic tub of natto makes sixty bowls of miso soup.The broth base is made from a cup of shrimp shells with the heads and tails on, i freeze those till I have a cup full. You can also buy ground dried shrimp or bonito soup stock in dried form in Hispanic or Asian stores or on amazon.When fresh shitake mushrooms are abundant, I slice and dry eight pounds on the picnic table outside to make one pound of dried mushrooms and save for soup. I grow very mild chinese garlic green chives year round in a planter pot or window sill glass bowl.Slivered firm tofu makes the soup complete. My recipe for home made tofu is here on cookpad.
