Easy Anko (Sweet Azuki Bean Paste) Made in a Pressure Cooker
I was busy and didn't have a lot of time.
After the beans have been cooked, make sure to drain them off.
The mixture burns easily after the sugar is added, so keep stirring.
Even if the bean paste is still soft, it will firm up when it has cooled down.
It also becomes less sweet-tasting when it's cold, so I recommend making it pretty sweet. Recipe by Yoshimorisanchi

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse 2 cups of adzuki beans quickly.
- 2
Put the adzuki beans in a pressure cooker with plenty of water.
- 3
Cook under pressure for 30 minutes, then leave to cool down naturally. Wait until the sides of the cooker are cool enough to touch.
- 4
If there is any water left in the pot, drain it off. You don't have to completely drain.
- 5
Add sugar and cook over low heat. Mix continuously with a wooden spatula so the beans don't burn on the bottom.
- 6
When you add sugar, it should get quite watery. This is how it looks right after sugar is added.
- 7
- 8
In about 5 minutes, it becomes quite syrupy. It's not stiff yet, but when the anko cools down, it hardens so you can stop cooking at this point.
- 9
Use for ohagi (a type of Japanese wagashi with mochi rice covered in anko).
- 10
Use as a filling in mochi dumplings.

I had leftover adzuki beans from last year, so I created this recipe as a way to use them up. The secret ingredient makes it really good.If the adzuki beans in the tsubu-an are still hard after cooking (this probably won't happen), add 2 cups of water and the tsubu-an to the pressure cooker. Bring up the pressure and pressure cook for about 5 minutes (depending on how hard the beans were). Recipe by Momopanda

Adzuki Anko (Chunky Sweet Bean Paste) Adzuki Anko (Chunky Sweet Bean Paste)
My mom used to make this chunky anko, but before I knew it I started making it on my own, and now it's become one of my standard homemade dishes.Adding water once or twice during simmering makes the adzuki fluffy and soft. Once you add sugar, you need to keep stirring with a wooden spatula or else it'll burn, so be careful. Please adjust the amount of sugar and salt to your taste. Recipe by Pront18 -
Zenzai (Sweet Red Bean Soup) in the Pressure Cooker! Zenzai (Sweet Red Bean Soup) in the Pressure Cooker!
If you use a pressure cooker, you can make zenzai in less than an hour! It's so easy, yet unbelievably delicious!! The honey gives a rich taste and the salt brings the flavors together. I succeeded in coming closer to the flavor of my mom's zenzai.Add the sugar in several batches; otherwise, the beans will harden. Stir gently from time to time during simmering to prevent scalding. Since it's a simple dish, I recommend using good quality beans and water. Recipe by Toiroiro -

Homemade Tsubu-an - Chunky Sweet Azuki Bean Paste Homemade Tsubu-an - Chunky Sweet Azuki Bean Paste
If you make your own anko, you can adjust the sweetness to your taste. It's also preservative-free, so I like it.There's no need to cook the beans for 1 to 2 hours. Just repeat the boil-simmer and cool steps, and you'll end up with tender and plump cooked beans. Use a pan with a thick bottom.If you use the same amount of sugar as the beans, the anko will be not that sweet. Please adjust the amount of sugar to taste. Recipe by umemodoki -

[Farmhouse Recipe] Anko for a Rustic Sweet Adzuki Bean Soup [Farmhouse Recipe] Anko for a Rustic Sweet Adzuki Bean Soup
I made a stock of anko, so on occasion, I use it to make oshiruko (sweet red bean soup), ohagi, or other kinds of treats.The total simmering time for the adzuki beans to become tender varies greatly depending on how fresh they are, so check the pot from time to time. They should be simmered until they can be easily crushed between your fingers, and are plump and cooked through.While the beans are simmering, don't stir them up too much. Recipe by FarmersK -

I wanted to make cute Hinamatsuri (Girl's Festival) colored Japanese sweets.The photo doesn't do justice to the actual hue of the paste, unfortunately. Adjust the amount of matcha to taste. 1/2 teaspoon is too little, and 1 felt like too much, so I went for somewhere in between.If you have some, you can add a little matcha tea flavoring or liqueur to add a bit more flavor.
