Rinse the azuki beans with water, place them in a pot, and start cooking with plenty of water.

Once it boils, drain the beans in a colander. Return them to the pot, add fresh water three times the amount of azuki beans (750 ml this time), and simmer on low heat for 1 hour.

As shown in the photo, scum will appear during cooking, so remove it carefully. Add water to ensure the azuki beans remain submerged.

After 1 hour, the beans will become plump as shown in the photo. Add sugar in three parts, add salt, and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes.

Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let it steam for 30 minutes.
