MANJU (JAPANESE SWEET BEAN PASTE COOKIES)



Manju (Japanese Sweet Bean Paste Cookies) image

These baked manju are filled with koshi an, a smooth paste made of red (azuki) beans and sugar. This recipe uses canned koshi an from the Asian grocery, which saves hours of work.

Time 1h

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 (18 ounce) can koshi an (sweetened red bean paste)
¼ cup evaporated milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
  • Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Beat eggs, 1 at a time, into creamed butter until smooth; add vanilla extract and beat well.
  • Sift flour and baking powder together in a bowl. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture, mixing well after each addition, until dough is smooth.
  • Generously flour your hands. Make walnut-size balls from the dough and press into 4-inch circles on a floured surface, making the circles thicker in the center and thinner on the edges. Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons koshi an in the center of each dough circle. Gather the edges together and pinch dough around the filling until sealed. Place dough balls, pinched-side down, on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Brush dough balls with evaporated milk.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

  • Soak lima beans in water overnight, or at least 6 hours.
  • Remove tough outer skin. Although it is a tedious process, it ensures a smooth bean paste.
  • Change water before cooking. Don't start off cooking the beans using too much water (beans retain water easily).
  • Cook beans over low heat for at least 1 hour until beans are soft and easily mashable. Make sure to use enough water so the beans do not scorch. Stir often to prevent burning. #SpoonTip: If you have a slow-cooker, you can use that instead.
  • Drain water and put beans in a food processor, or mash, to eliminate lumps and pieces until you achieve a smooth paste. The paste should retain some water.
  • Add a dash of salt and the 2 ½ cups of sugar. Mix thoroughly. Paste will become more watery.
  • Simmer over low heat for about 1 hour (cooking times may vary), stirring constantly, until the paste becomes dry enough to reach a thick consistency. The paste should be dry enough to be manipulated with hands to form a ball shape (aim for a moist cookie dough consistency).
  • Alternatively, you can put the bean paste in the microwave at 4 minute intervals until the consistency is reached.
  • Let it cool. The shiro-an will continue to dry a bit more after cooling.
  • The recipe can be doubled if desired. Shiro-an can last up to 6 months in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the fridge before use.

BAKED MANJU



Baked Manju image

I have a friend in Hawaii who sends me recipes to make for my kids. Sometimes they work...sometimes they are an "acquired" taste. This one was a winner! I think she got this recipe from the Chamber of Commerce. The recipe does double (and actually the doubled recipe would use a full can of the an). If you're expecting a traditional Japanese dessert, look elsewhere. This isn't the same kind of manju with the glutinous rice (mochi) on the outside...actually it's closer to kuri manju without the chestnut and with a completely different filing.
