Chestnut and Sweet Potato Yokan Chestnut and Sweet Potato Yokan
Chestnuts and sweet potatoes -- the bounties of autumn!I had a craving for sweet potato yokan, but wanted something different, so I added sweetened chestnuts and the result was amazing. A total success!Once the sweet potato cools down, it's hard to strain, so keep the potatoes warm under the plastic wrap, taking out only as much as you can strain. Straining the potatoes is tiresome and tedious, but the texture is completely different with this step, so keep at it.For the mold, you can line a bento box in plastic wrap and use it as a mold. For an easy-to-make amount. Recipe by yaburie

Adzuki and Sweet Potato Yokan Adzuki and Sweet Potato Yokan
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. Unfortunately, it takes time so I cooked in a rice cooker instead. The sweet potato cooks nicely in a rice cooker too. Recipe by Meifan -

Easy and Delicious Mizu Yokan Easy and Delicious Mizu Yokan
This is the season when you want to have mizu yokan. Koshi-an (smooth azuki bean paste) is expensive, and is a bother to make... I tried cutting many corners, but I've finally settled on this method and ratio of ingredients.I uploaded this recipe in the summer. Kanten gels at room temperature, so if you are making this in the winter in a cold room, increase the amount of hot water used of the 400 ml.In order to have a silky smooth yokan, be sure to puree the beans in the blender very well.

Toshichin-mama's Milk Yokan Jello Toshichin-mama's Milk Yokan Jello
My mother-in-law taught me this recipe, which is made as part of the New Year's feast.1. I used a 255 x 140 x 47 mm mold.2. The amount of sugar given makes the jelly pretty sweet. Please adjust the amount to taste. If you use powdered sugar, the jelly will be even smoother. If you use a variety of kanten called "Agar agar," it will have a gelatin-like wobbly texture, so I recommend it when you are making the jelly in a mold. If you can't get that, use 1/4 of the kanten in the recipe. For 6 servings (or 2 pudding molds). Recipe by Kazapi- -
