I just love mizu-yokan.

-With koshi-an (smooth sweet bean paste), these turn out nice and silky. The texture is delightful.
-They turn out more delicious with a sweet an paste. Recipe by Chisora

Steps

1

Put the water in a small pot, sprinkle in the powdered kanten, and heat over medium heat.
2

Gently stir with a wooden spatula to dissolve the powdered kanten. Be careful not to boil it.
3

Remove from the heat, and add the anko in 3 batches.
4

Mix well with the wooden spatula after each addition.
5

Turn the heat on low, and mix well from the bottom of the pot until there are no lumps in the mixture.
6

Turn off the heat, and place the bottom of the pot in iced water.
7

Cool the mixture until it thickens a little.
8

Lightly wet a plastic container or a mold, pour the mixture from Step 7 into it, and leave in the fridge for about 1 hour to set.
9

Once it's set, remove from the fridge. Insert a knife along the sides of the container to loosen.
10

Flip over the container to release the mizu-yokan.
11

Cut into desired sizes. It's done!
