Zenzai (Sweet Red Bean Soup) in the Pressure Cooker!
- 300 grams Dried adzuki beans
- 700 ml Water for boiling
- 250 grams Raw cane sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp Honey
- 3 pinch Salt
- 1200 ml Water
- 1 as much (to taste) Cut mochi
- Rinse the adzuki beans with water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Drain in a colander.
- Put 700 ml water in a pressure cooker and add the adzuki beans.
- Without covering, bring to a boil for 4-5 minutes, then drain out the water (the beans are too astringent; draining out the water will remove the astringency).
- Completely drain the beans and place in a colander.
- Add 1200 ml of water and the beans from Step 4 to the pressure cooker and cover with the lid.
- Once the pressure rises and the pot starts to steam, reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, then let it sit until the pressure drops.
- Once the pressure drops, remove the lid and gradually mix in the sugar in three batches.
- Next, add the salt and honey, and simmer until the beans become thick (cook the beans until you can crush them between your fingers).
- Line a grill with aluminium foil, then quickly grill the mochi and add it to individual servings of zenzai for a delicious touch!
- The zenzai can be frozen.
- I recommend dividing it into individual servings before freezing.
