Soft Mizu-Yokan (Sweetened and Jellied Bean Paste)

I had a craving for mizu-yokan, so I came up with my own version.
The result is a very soft texture, so if you pour the mixture into the mold while it's still hot, the anko will settle to the bottom. Since it's troublesome to chill it over ice, I allow it to cool down, then stir it, and it comes out fine.
If you prefer a bolder salt taste, add one more pinch. Recipe by altonori

Mizu-yokan (Soft Sweet Bean Paste) Flavored with Rum Mizu-yokan (Soft Sweet Bean Paste) Flavored with Rum
I might have written this before in another recipe I made with aduki bean paste, but when I was at Toraya Cafe, I thought the way they combined aduki and rum was very nice, so I made this recipe.I I tried to make the rum flavor subtle so I could to add cream, but I happen to run out. I poured condensed milk, which I have on hand all the time. I actually tried it with cream later, but I prefer condensed milk.You can increase the amount of aduki bean paste up to 100 g (or 200g). Remember this if you're thinking "I just have 80g of bean paste, what can I do with it?" The amount of bean paste listed in the ingredients just reflects the amount of sweetness I personally like.Dissolve the agar-agar well. Sometimes, it looks like it's dissolved completely, but it's actually not. Cook over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes so that it dissolves properly. This is important.If you don't like the strong alcohol flavor, add the rum when you cook the ingredients, so you can evaporate the alcohol content over high heat. Even though I don't drink, I was fine with the amount of alcohol in the recipe. For making half: 150 ml / for making a whole one: 300 ml. Recipe by Sabumochi cookpad.japan -

Cookpad user Bubukun's recipe, "Sweet Carrots in the Rice Cooker" gave me the idea of cooking sweet potato like this.Adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste. When you put the mixture into a container, it is important to remove bubbles. Otherwise it won't be set cleanly. I did several trials and found the sweet potato sweetest after baking in the oven.
