Easy and Delicious Mizu Yokan
- 1 can Canned cooked adzuki beans (sweetened type)
- 200 ml Water
- 4 grams Powdered kanten
- 30 grams Sugar (the type of your choice)
- 200 ml Water
- The ingredients used are these (from left to right: powdered kanten, canned cooked adzuki beans, sugar) plus water.
- I used beet sugar.
- The ingredients are not heated, and the are.
- The more water you have in , the faster the yokan will cool, but if you use too much non-heated water the ingredients might set while you're still working.
- Put all the ingredients in a pan and start heating.
- When it's bubbling, simmer for about 2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
- You have to simmer it or the kanten won't set.
- Next, put the entire contents of the can of adzuki beans in a blender.
- It won't blend well on its own, so add some of the water little by little, and process.
- Reserve some of the water.
- By processing the beans at this point until they're smooth, the yokan will have a silky texture.
- Add the well pureed beans to the the pan with the kanten liquid.
- Add the remaining water to the blender, rinse out the bean puree sticking to the sides and pour into the pan.
- This was the reason for reserving some of the water.
- All the ingredients are in the pan now.
- They will now be poured into the mold.
- When the mixture has cooled down enough to refrigerate, put it in the refrigerator to chill and set completely.
- Since the ingredients are not heated, it should cool down right away.
