Steps

1

Here are the ingredients. I used 3.5 oz (100 g) of canned sweetened azuki beans.
2

Open the can of sweetened azuki beans.
3

Use half the can (about 3.5 oz or 100 g) of azuki beans. Place the beans in a saucepan and add an equal amount of water (1/2 cup or 100 ml). Heat the mixture.
4

Arrange the mochi pieces on a plate, sprinkle lightly with water, and microwave for 30 seconds.
5

Once the azuki mixture comes to a boil, add the microwaved mochi and let it simmer briefly.
6

When it comes to a gentle boil, serve in a bowl and enjoy.
