Japanese Chunky Cold Adzuki Cake Recipe

Ingredients: 

14 oz (400 g) chunky adzuki bean paste

cup sugar

a pinch of salt

½ kanten (agar-agar or jelly) stick ( oz or 4 g)

1½ cups water

 

Method:

Soak kanten in plenty of water overnight or until softened.  Squeeze water from kanten, then tear into pieces.  Put the pieces in a saucepan with 1½ cups water.  Simmer until kanten dissolves, stirring constantly.  Stir in sugar and salt, then pour into a bowl through a strainer or sieve.  Add adzuki bean paste, mixing well.  Cool down over a bowl of ice water, stirring.  Moisten the inside of a square mould (5"x5¾") with water and pour the kanten mixture into the mould.  Chill until set for about 2 hours, then cut into cubes to serve.
