Ohagi with Adzuki Beans and Kinako Powder
- 250 grams Dried adzuki beans
- 250 grams Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 1/2 rice cooker cup White rice
- 1 1/2 rice cooker cup Mochi rice
- 1 tsp Salt
- On the previous night, combine the beans and three times the amount of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Continue to cook for about 10 minutes.
- Discard the water and the same amount of fresh water and bring to a boil again.
- Cook for 30 minutes and turn off the heat.
- Leave to stand overnight.
- You will see the beans plump the next day.
- Cook until very tender (when you can easily crush them with your fingers).
- After cooking for 15 minutes, the beans will be very tender.
- Drain the beans in a colander and return to the pot.
- Add sugar to Step 3.
- After the sugar dissolves, add salt.
- Ensuring that the bottom of the pan does not burn, mash the adzuki beans with a wooded pestle and keep on cooking and stirring for 10 to 15 minutes.
- When you add sugar, it will draw out the water, but keep on cooking until a line can be drawn when you run a wooden spatula along the bottom of the pan.
- Rinse the rice and mochi rice and put in a rice cooker with salt.
- Fill with water up to the mark for making 3 rice cooker cups of rice.
- Cook.
- After the rice is cooked, mash the rice with a wooden pestle.
- Prepare the kinako, anko and water.
- Make ohagi while the rice is still hot.
- Make rice balls and flatten into rounds.
- Place a small portion of aduki bean paste on the flattened rice and shape into balls.
- If you make the surface of the rice balls smooth, the result will look better after dusting with kinako powder.
- Dust the rice balls with kinako powder (use chopsticks when you do this by yourself).
- After this, make small rice balls with the leftover rice and make adzuki ohagi.
- Place a rice ball on your palm and cover with anko.
- All done!
