Ingredients
- 1 stk agar agar
- 1Â 1/2 lb ) smooth sweet bean paste, about (koshian) *
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 8 x Cherry tree leaves
Directions
- * (This I have seen dry in Chinese stores, may find canned in Japanese grocery stores but do not get the kind which has whole beans in it... a "from scratch" recipe follows)
- No guarantees since these recipes are NOT tested and also been through a horrible translator (me :-). Also, if I remember correctly the c. and teaspon/Tbsp. measures don't translate 1-to-1 with US measures. (if anyone knows what the conversion is please post!) I tried to pick out some easy ones using relatively common ingredients (IMHO).
- If anyone tries these, let me know if they worked ok, maybe I'll try them as a school project ;- )
- this is a traditional summer sweet.
- Wash agar agar well, wring out moisture then break into little pcs. (I have seen powders too!). Soak 30 min ore more in 4 c. water. Then heat on medium heat till melted.
- Add in the bean paste gradually. Heat till all blaneded and little bubbles appear on the surface. Simmer on low 1 - 2 more min.
- Remove from heat, add in salt. Float saucepan in a bowl of cool water, and mix continuously till cooled to about skin temperature.
- Rinse out a square pan (there is a special metal pan which lifts out in 2 pcs, but any shallow pan will work) with cool water. Pour in the mix and chill til hard. (It should be about 2" thick max).
- Cut into pcs when hard and wrap with cherry tree leaves.
