Ingredients
- ●1 cup adzuki beans
- ●3 cups water
- ●3/4 cup sugar
- ●1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- 1Rinse the adzuki beans under cold water until the water runs clear.
- 2In a pot, combine the rinsed beans and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- 3Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.
- 4Drain the beans and return them to the pot. Add the sugar and salt.
- 5Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
- 6If you prefer a smoother texture, use a potato masher or food processor to mash the beans to your desired consistency.
- 7Remove from heat and let cool before using or storing.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ●1 cup glutinous rice
- ●1/2 cup red bean paste
- ●1/4 cup kinako (roasted soybean flour)
- ●1/4 cup sugar
- ●1/4 tsp salt
- ●1/2 cup water
Instructions
- 1Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- 2Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- 3Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam for about 30 minutes until the rice is translucent and sticky.
- 4Once cooked, transfer the rice to a bowl and let it cool slightly.
- 5While the rice is cooling, mix the red bean paste with sugar and salt in a separate bowl until well combined.
- 6Take a small portion of the rice and flatten it in your palm. Place a spoonful of the red bean mixture in the center and mold the rice around it to form a ball.
- 7Repeat the process until all the rice and filling are used up, forming small rice balls.
- 8Roll each rice ball in kinako until fully coated.
- 9Serve the kinako ohagi at room temperature or chilled.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ●1 cup glutinous rice flour
- ●1/2 cup water
- ●1/4 cup sugar (optional)
- ●Cornstarch (for dusting)
Instructions
- 1In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and sugar (if using).
- 2Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
- 3Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes pliable.
- 4Divide the dough into small equal portions, about the size of a marble.
- 5Roll each portion into a ball and then gently flatten it to form a disc.
- 6Bring a pot of water to a boil and carefully drop the dango discs into the boiling water.
- 7Cook the dango until they float to the surface, about 3-5 minutes.
- 8Once they float, let them cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove them with a slotted spoon.
- 9Place the cooked dango on a plate dusted with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
- 10Serve warm or at room temperature.
