Basic Tsubu-an Chunky Adzuki Bean Paste Basic Tsubu-an Chunky Adzuki Bean Paste
I learned this method from my mother. Covering the pot and stewing the beans on medium heat speeds up the process. Keep an eye on the pot. In Step 2, if the scum doesn't bother you, skip the steps for draining and refilling the pot with water. For 3 types of botamochi and ohagi, see.Once the tsubu-an cools it will stiffen, so turn off the heat while it is still on the soft side. If you don't have any mizuame, it's fine without it. If you're in a hurry, skip Step 4 and reheat right away. Adjust the amount of sugar to taste. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 -

I love anko and kinako, so I combined the two for a Japanese-style campagne.＊There is quite a lot of liquid in this recipe, so use a lot of flour.＊ For the first rise, if you have time I recommend leaving it overnight. If you let it rise slowly you get a really thick and delicious dough. This time I let it rise for 6 hours.＊ Adjust the oven time accordingly. Recipe by makoto -
Macrobiotic: Anko (Sweet Adzuki Bean Paste) Macrobiotic: Anko (Sweet Adzuki Bean Paste)
I wanted to eat macrobiotic sweets.The raisins blend in easier with the adzuki if you mince them. Be sure to add salt, as it will help bring out the sweetness of the beans.Adding dried persimmons takes away the acidity for a more natural flavor; but since dried persimmons aren't always available, raisins may be best.

Adzuki Bean Bread (Using a Bread Maker) Adzuki Bean Bread (Using a Bread Maker)
One Cookpad user wrote that when she added water from a can of boiled adzuki beans to the bread, it tasted like an adzuki bean ice cream bar, so I wanted to try making it. I decided to combine the adzuki bread with some matcha bread dough. I played with different amounts of canned adzuki beans and water, and unexpectedly came up with a good combination, so I uploaded it.I think the amount of water in the adzuki beans varies slightly from maker to maker. After the bread maker starts the kneading process, open the lid and be ready to add some milk if necessary. There isn't much green tea dough, so you can knead it well while keeping an eye on the bread maker. Even when I made 1.5 loaves with just ◎, it turned out to be a rather delicious bread.

Making it in a rice cooker instead of a pot is easier, so we prepare rice and adzuki beans this way quite often in my house.Step 4: Depending on the adzuki beans you use, the boiling time required may be more or less, so make sure to monitor the beans while boiling.Step 5: If you use a lot of the adzuki boiling water when making the rice, the rice will be colored.
