What else can I make with these ingredients?
Instructions
- 1
Simmer the azuki beans with the water and sugar over low heat for 15 minutes.
15 min15:00 - 2
Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
- 3
Cook the mochi in a dry pan for 6 minutes, until puffed and browned.
6 min06:00 - 4
Divide the hot bean soup among bowls.
- 5
Add the mochi right at serving time so it does not sit too long and melt into the soup.
💡 Tip: The red beans should be soft enough to crumble without turning fully mashed; a few whole beans on the spoon give the best texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in bowls with small toasted mochi on top.
