Krok po kroku

1. 1

   Rinse the adzuki beans and place them in a medium pot with plenty of water.

2. 2

   Bring the adzuki beans to a boil, then immediately drain and discard the water.

   Około 5 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: This step helps remove astringency from the beans.

3. 3

   Return the blanched adzuki beans to the pot, add fresh water to cover by about 2 inches, and bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   Simmer the adzuki beans over low heat for 60-90 minutes, or until very tender.

   Około 1 godz. 15 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: Add more water if needed to keep the beans submerged.

5. 5

   Once tender, drain most of the cooking liquid from the adzuki beans, leaving just enough to keep them moist.

6. 6

   Add the sugar and additional water to the adzuki beans and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens into a paste.

   Około 10 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: Mash some of the beans with the back of your spoon for a smoother paste, or leave them mostly whole for texture.

7. 7

   Remove the adzuki paste from heat and let it cool completely.

8. 8

   In a separate saucepan, combine the agar powder and water for the jelly.

9. 9

   Bring the agar mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the agar powder is fully dissolved.

   Około 5 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: Ensure there are no undissolved agar particles at the bottom of the pan.

10. 10

    Stir in the sugar for the agar jelly until it dissolves.

    Około 1 min

11. 11

    Pour the agar solution into a shallow rectangular dish and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

    Około 30 min

12. 12

    Transfer the dish to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the jelly is firm.

    Około 1 godz.

    Once firm, carefully remove the agar jelly from the dish and cut it into small cubes.

    Około 5 min

    Wskazówka kucharza: A wet knife can help prevent sticking.

    To assemble, divide the agar jelly cubes among serving bowls.
