SWEET RED BEAN PASTE (ANKO)
Sweet Red Bean Paste (Anko) is a versatile ingredient that is used to make many Japanese sweets. It is made from just azuki beans, sugar and a pinch of salt. The process of making it is very simple. You can make many traditional Japanese sweets with Anko but for now you can have it on your toast or with ice cream. See the section 'MEAL IDEAS' below the recipe card!

Steps:
- Wash azuki beans gently a couple of times.
- Put azuki beans into a saucepan, fill it with water to 3-4cm / 1¼-1½" above the azuki beans and bring it to a boil.
- Cook for 15 minutes, turn the heat off and leave for 30 minutes with a lid on. Drain using a sieve.
- Return the azuki beans to the saucepan, fill the pan with water to just cover the beans. Bring it to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium low so that the beans are gently simmering.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes until the beans are cooked through (note 3). If the beans surface above the water level, add some water to keep the beans just below the water level (note 4). Remove the scum as it surfaces.
- Turn the heat off and leave for 30 minutes with the lid on. Drain using a sieve with a bowl beneath it so that the liquid can be collected in the bowl.
- Return the beans to the pan.
- Gently tilt the bowl of liquid and drain the liquid slowly. At the bottom of the bowl, you will see a thick layer of the azuki bean powder diluted in the liquid. Transfer this to the pan.
- Add sugar and gently mix the sugar into the azuki beans using a soft spatula.
- Heat the pan with azuki beans over medium heat. The beans should become watery as it starts boiling.
- Cook for about 10 minutes. During this time gently mix the beans occasionally by moving the spatula from one edge to the other edge and draw a wide straight line.
- Check the consistency of the paste: Draw a line at the bottom of the pan with the spatula. If you can see the bottom of the pan and the beans start closing the line after hesitating momentarily, it is the right consistency (note 5).
- Add glucose if using and a pinch of salt, then gently mix. Remove from the heat.
- Transfer the bean paste to a tray. Cover it with cling wrap removing air pockets as much as possible (note 6). When cooled down, store in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze it in a zip lock bag up to 2 months.

Steps:
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Rinse the azuki beans and discard any broken beans.
- Transfer the drained azuki beans to a large pot. Add enough water to the pot so the beans are covered by 1-2 inches.
- Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, drain the beans in a fine-mesh sieve. Return the beans to the same pot.
- Next, add more water to the pot so the beans are covered by 1-2 inches.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, put an otoshibuta (drop lid) over the beans. (The otoshibuta will prevent the beans from dancing around too much.) Turn down the heat to medium low and keep it simmering for the next 1 to 1½ hours.
- Some of the water will evaporate, so add more water to keep the beans submerged, as needed. After 1 hour, check if the beans are cooked. Pick up a bean and mash it with your fingers. When it mashes easily, it's done.

Steps:
- Soak adzuki beans in water overnight. Drain then rinse well.
- Put the beans into a small pot. Pour in water. Bring it to a boil then leave to simmer for 60-90 mins until they become soft and easy to crush (check the water level halfway through. Top up if necessary to avoid burning).
- You may use a stove-top pressure cooker or an instant pot to speed up the process. Cook for 25 mins. Then leave to cool naturally.
- Drain the cooked beans then put into a blender or food processor. Add white sugar, dark brown sugar and butter. Blend on high speed into a fine paste. You may need to add a little water to make blending easier. However, only add as little as necessary.
- Transfer the puree into a pan. Cook over medium-high heat while stirring and flipping constantly to avoid burning. Once the paste becomes dark and holds in shape, transfer out to cool (See note 3 for the consistency).
- Remove the remaining water from the cooking pot. Add white sugar, dark brown sugar and butter to the beans. Use the flat bottom of a jar (or a potato masher if available) to crush the beans.
- Turn the heat back on. Heat up the paste to reduce its moisture until it reaches the desired consistency (see note 3). Stir constantly during this process to avoid burning.
- Red bean paste can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for two months. Defrost in the fridge before using.

ADZUKI/ADUKI RED BEAN PASTE
I'm not entirely sure how authentic this is, but I looked up various adzuki bean paste recipes since I can't get canned/jarred nearby. So I came up with this one where the first batch was too sugary so I toned it down and got it right the second time-- it's easy but not quick! Using dried adzuki beans is optimal but canned would probably do in a pinch to cut the night the beans need to soak. They must be soft and squishable. Straining overnight is important, but all in all this is easy. Adzuki paste is used in Japanese and Chinese confections and as a spread, the nutritious properties of the red beans help cancel out the pure sugar!

Steps:
- Measure out about 1 dry cup of dried adzuki beans. You will probably have leftover, adzuki beans definitely multiply when cooked. Soak the beans overnight.
- Next day, bring about 4-5 cups of water to a boil, then let the beans simmer for 35-40 minutes or until soft, with the pot lid loosely covered.
- Drain the beans, and measure out 2 cups now that they're cooked. (Save the leftover beans for veggie burger or roasting purposes, or other adzuki confections!).
- Put the cooked beans and 1 1/2 cups of sugar plus a little water into a food processor and puree it until there are almost no more bean pieces left.
- Pour the paste into a colander fitted over a large bowl, and let strain overnight (at least 6-8 hours.).
- When it's all done straining the next day, there should be a lot of liquid in the bottom of the bowl and the paste inside the colander should be nice and thick. It's ready for use now! It can be refridgerated for up to a week, then frozen for a few months for future use.
