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

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Soak the adzuki beans in plenty of water. When the beans have swelled, boil over medium heat.
- 2
Bring to a boil and drain (to remove bitterness). Add plenty of fresh water and cook over medium heat again. Turn the heat off after about 10 minutes, and leave to cool down.
- 3
When the beans have cooled down, bring up to a boil once more, then cool down again. If the beans have split open, they're done. If they are still hard, repeat boiling and cooling procedure until tender.
- 4
When the beans are tender, add sugar and cook over medium heat. Mix and mash the beans with a spatula. Add the salt.
- 5
If you can write an "S" on the bottom of the pan with your spatula, turn off the heat. To use the anko in anpan (anko filled buns), dry it off well to make it rather firm.
- 6
Divide the anko into 30g balls. For ohagi, divide into 50 balls. You can freeze the anko.

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 -
Easy Pressure Cooker Tsubu-an (Chunky Sweet Red Bean Paste), Japanese Confectionery Style Easy Pressure Cooker Tsubu-an (Chunky Sweet Red Bean Paste), Japanese Confectionery Style
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 -
Tsubushi-An (Sweet simmered azuki beans) Tsubushi-An (Sweet simmered azuki beans)
Sometimes I get an irresistable urge to eat anko. If you make a lot you can turn it into all kinds of snacks, so I keep it stocked in the freezer.In order to prevent the beans from popping out of the water while they are simmering, add some "shock water" (1/2 to 1 cup, 100-200 ml) halfway through.If you put kitchen towel right on top of the simmering beans in step 3 to act as an otoshibuta or drop lid, and cook the beans gently with love, the beans are much less likely to fall apart.If you add 250 g of sugar, it will be as sweet as the usual storebought anko.

Simple Zenzai with Chunky Sweet Aduki Bean Paste Simple Zenzai with Chunky Sweet Aduki Bean Paste
I usually use homemade tsubu-an when making manju, but sometimes I can't use it all up. That's when I make zenzai using leftover tsubu-an. Sometimes I serve it without mochi. The flavor and subtle sweetness of the aduki is still very satisfying.I created this recipe based on the premise of using homemade tsubu-an, but you could of course use the store-bought variety.If the tsubu-an is unsalted, add a pinch of salt to improve its sweetness.It's also good with mochi cooked in hot water. For 2 servings. Recipe by Kamoshian -

Cherry Blossom Sweet Bean Paste Cherry Blossom Sweet Bean Paste
All of a sudden, I thought "Couldn't I make this with things I already have in my pantry?"If you add too much food coloring, the color will just look tacky, so watch over it.*The first picture looks slightly muted, but it's a much softer pastel color. Two leaves seem to be about right. You can also try using store-bought chunky red bean paste or smooth bean paste. For about 110 g. Recipe by Makunouchi -
Easy Anko (Sweet Azuki Bean Paste) Made in a Pressure Cooker 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.
