Ingredients

5 servings
  1. 2 1/2 cupRice flour
  2. 200 mlAdzuki beans
  3. 3 tbspHoney
  4. 1/3 tspSalt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak adzuki beans overnight in 3 times the amount of water and boil for 3-4 hours.

  2. 2

    Once they are soft, add honey and salt and crush the beans while simmering and let the excess water evaporate.

  3. 3

    If you prefer smoother bean paste (koshi-an), press the beans through a strainer. I prefer it with some of the bean skins intact.

  4. 4

    Outside Japan, you can find cheap glutinous rice flour imported from Thailand (not to be confused with sticky rice).

  5. 5

    Be careful not to buy the type marked with a red label from the same brand, since it will not turn out right.

  6. 6

    Add enough hot water to the rice flour for a soft texture with the same consistency as your earlobes.

  7. 7

    Form the dough into bite-sized balls and boil in hot water until they float up, then transfer to a plate. They will stick together, so allow space in between.

  8. 8

    Add a dollop of the sweetened bean paste on top and serve.

  9. 9

    If you're in Japan, use shiratamako.
