A Japanese style snack made with crackers sandwiched with adzuki bean paste, shiso leaves and pickled plums.
I came up with these while eating Monaka (bean jam wafers).

Instead of sandwiching the crackers, you can top them with the bean paste to make canapes.Use as many shiso leaves as you like, but if you use too many, it may taste bitter.
You can make it without adding the powdered kanten in Step 2, but it holds together better if you put it in. For 6. Recipe by Karun
