Adzuki Bean Porridge (Zensai) Recipe

• 1/2 cup dried adzuki beans
• 1 2/3 cup water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1. Place beans in a medium pot, cover with cold water by about 2 inches, and bring to a boil over high heat.
2. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until beans are cooked through, about 55 to 60 minutes.
3. (Beans are done once they mash easily when pressed between your fingers.)
4. Drain beans through a fine mesh strainer and rinse out the pot.
5. Return the pot to the stove and add cooked beans, water, sugar, and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
6. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until cooking liquid has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.
7. Stir in mochi, heat through, and serve.
