Anko Red Beans Paste Tsubuan

Ingredients

  • 200g azuki beans - washed and drained
  • 150 to 200g sugar (use more or less depending on your taste)
  • a dash of salt
  • water, as much as necessary

Instructions

  • 1. Place azuki beans into a cooking pot and add about 800ml water (3 to 4 times the azuki weight). Cook over high heat and bring it to a boil.
  • 2. Once it is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 min. After 5min turn off the heat and cover, let it rest for 15 to 20 min. Then drain well.
  • 3. Transfer the cooked azuki beans into a clean cooking pot. Add 600ml water, cook over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, skim off scum. Then cover and cook for about 30 min over medium-low heat. Check regularly that the water level is high enough to cover the beans.
  • 4. After 30 min, check if azuki is ready. If not soft enough, cook another 10 min. Once ok, remove from the heat. Cover and let it rest for 30 min.
  • 5. After 30 min, turn the heat to medium-high heat. Again check that you have just enough water to cover the azuki (adjust by adding or removing water as needed). Just before it boils, add sugar (first 150g then add more if any till 200g) and a dash of salt.
  • 6. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes on medium heat, while stirring occasionally. Let almost all the water evaporate. Transfer to a plate!
  • 7. If you don't use it all, wrap the leftover and freeze. Usually I freeze it in separate 100g portion.

Matcha mochi

Matcha mochi

Serving Size
15 mochi
Matcha mochi

Ingredients

For the filling nuts :

  • 20g nuts of your choice - pistachio, almond, macadamia, walnut etc.. - chopped
  • 15g sugar
  • 1 tsp water

For the cream filling :

  • 50ml heavy cream/whipping cream
  • 40g white chocolate - cut into small pieces
  • 150g mascarpone
  • 1 tsp matcha powder
  • 2 tbsp white sugar

For the mochi :

  • 100g glutinous rice flour
  • 40g white sugar
  • 180ml water

Instructions

  • 1. Start with the filling
  • In a small cooking pot, add sugar (15g) and 1 tsp water and bring it to a boil. Once it starts to be lightly brown, then add the nuts and stir for a few seconds. Transfer over the baking sheet and let it cool. Set aside.
  • 2. In an another small cooking pot add heavy cream (50ml) and heat until almost boiled. Remove from the heat and add white chocolate (40g), mix gently until the chocolate blocks are melted completely. Transfer into a heat-safe bowl and let it cool to room temperature then chill in the fridge.
  • 3. Once the chocolate mix is cold : in a medium bowl, add mascarpone, sugar and the chocolate mixture from #2. Mix well. Add matcha sifting with a sieve. Mix well. Add the nuts from #1 and mix.
  • 4. Prepare the silicone mould (here I used a 4cm diameter * 15-hole mould). Place the matcha cream in each hole. Flatten the surface, using a spoon. Place in the freezer until it is frozen. I usually make this one day before I want to make mochi.
  • 5. Mochi time! Once the cream is frozen, start preparing the mochi mixture : In a microwave safe glass bowl, combine flour and sugar. Stir to combine. Add the water and mix with an egg beater until smooth. Cover the bowl lightly with cling wrap.
  • 6. Microwave the mixture for 1 minute. Then stir the dough with a spatula. Put it back in the microwave again for another minute and stir lightly. Put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds (not 1 min) and stir. And once more microwave for 30 seconds and stir. The mixture should be now very thick and translucent.
  • 7. Transfer the mochi dough on your working surface floured with katakuriko/potato starch. As it is very hot you should use a spatula or a dough cuter. Cut the mochi into 15 equal pieces. Don't forget to coat your hand with katakuriko/potato starch.
  • 8. With your hands, take one of these pieces and flatten it into a thick disc. Then put a frozen cream ball from the freezer in the middle of the mochi disc. Pull out the cream balls one at a time from the freezer as they will melt quickly. Pull the edges of the dough disc together to cover the cream ball. Press together the edges to seal well. Smoothen the mochi by rolling it on the dusted board.
  • 9. Keep in the fridge before you serve :)

Kohakutou – Japanese Wagashi sweets

Kohakutou — Japanese Wagashi sweets

Print this recipe
Kohakutou — Japanese Wagashi sweets

Ingredients

  • 2g agar agar powder (kanten powder)
  • 150g white sugar
  • 150g water
  • 1 tbsp syrup which you like (monin syrup, maple syrup, mint alcoholic liqueur, etc….)

Instructions

  • 1. Have a container ready (high temperature proof) and syrup on the side as well.
  • 2. In a cooking pot, add water and agar powder. Melt the powder over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Heat and stir until the agar powder melts completely. It usually takes about 1 to 2 mins.
  • 3. Add the sugar. Melt the sugar, stirring constantly to prevent burning with a spatula. It will be very foamy and bubbly. Keep on stirring for about 5 mins.
  • 4. Remove from the heat and immediately pour into the container. Quickly add 1 tbsp syrup (not more) of your choice (or a tiny amount of food coloring, using tooth picks.) Mix well.
  • 5. Chill in the fridge until it has set. It should be firm enough to cut.
  • 6. Remove from the fridge and cut into small pieces (about 2 to 3 cm dices) and place them on a baking sheet. You can also coat the pieces with sugar to make them sweeter.
  • 7. Let the candies sit there for 2 to 3 days (it may even take up to 5 days, as it depends on so many factors : climate, season,...). Eventually their surface should dry out completely. The candies will be crystallized with a jewelry finish. They are crunchy outside, but inside texture is like jelly.
  • You can keep your “kohakutou” in an airtight container for about 2 weeks.
