![[Low Sugar] Red Bean Paste 팥앙금 : 코지 kOzy](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/9LOAEBC3gbQ/mqdefault.jpg)
'Red cow peas' is the English version of the Indian name and you can usually get these beans in Indian stores (at least in the UK). Thanks for all the doable, delicious recipes, Taiji.
@@YDLOG rajma is not red cow peas
Can you get the split peeled dahl version of adzuki beans? And what is it called?
Just made it so I can bake some Anpan
Really easy to follow recipe and it turned out great
I saw a video yesterday in which an elderly Japanese woman made kosumochi. But I didn’t know what the red paste she was making was called. I was fascinated watching her make it. I am so glad I found your video. I’m going to have to use a translator to figure out what the sugar package says, though. 😄
Wow, you washed that so much im amazed there was anything left! Thank you for sharing, I didn't know there was a difference but now i want to try to make both.
Thank you for sharing this red beans recipe. I can put ice and condensed milk, and it's yummy as dessert. It can be used as a filling for Red Mungo Bean Moshi. Yum 😋 yummy. 😋
This is a comment for all of your videos - Thank you! I am enjoying them and learning a lot! I’ve tried your recipes with delicious success!
I discovered your channel just a couple of days ago and am really enjoying your content. :) Thank you for this in-depth tutorial on how to make anko. I tried the coarser tsubu-an and really enjoyed it.
I'm learning a lot from your vlog,thank you!
This recipe is BOMB🔥🔥🔥🇯🇵! Thank you so much i love this it turned out exactly how you did😄
Loving your content!
Thank you, from Wilmington, north Carolina.,
The fine bean paste would be my choice, in a fluffy white steamed sweet bun would suit me. Elegant!
thank you for sharing this to the world.
Very nice receipe thanks
Dude I am starting the home cook path and coming across your channel was just great. Cool content, keep it up!
Thanx! up next are the some sweets using Anko!
stay tuned!
I’m actually currently letting my Koshi-an sink to the bottom of the bowl right now. It has taken me a very long time because my sieve was tiny and starting to break😅 but here I am finally. I’m going to be trying to make some daifuku mochi tomorrow with my sister and little nephews. I’ll let you know how it goes!
Forgot to say this before. It turned out AMAZING! Fantastic recipe. So delicious.
I'm glad to hear that western children also enjoy this!
Thank you very much for the knowledge.
Amazing
I like manju sweet so much! Each time I go to a Japanese market, I buy it 😋
Sarap ng gawa mong salad na beans, enjoy po

hahaha, exactly such videos are coming up next!! (work in progress)
So helpful!!!!! Doumo arigato gozaimasu!! 🙏🙏🙏🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙌🙌🙌
I'm going to make this with less sugar as you suggested!
Tsubu-An = Practical, less complicated, less waste, more beans
Koshi-An = Tedious, more waste, less beans (skin), jam-like
Thank you for another awesome video :D
you are welcome!!
it got a lot longer than I have expected... hope its not too long of a video!
@@taijiskitchen It was perfect. It's better to give more detail and take the time it takes then rush it and leave people confused. You are doing great :D Now will you teach us more sweet recipe to use it in? :P
Thanks sensei! Please teach us more in thr future! Can you teach us how to make Nekiri and other Japanese sweets too? Thanks
Cant wait to try 😀
The ozuki tea is surprisly tasty :D nice tips
the Tsubu-An I made with your receipe was great and for the Koshi-An Howww man :o , the texture is soo elegant as you said it fells like walking on snow :D ! amazinggg thank you bro
I love those. Just be cautious, the first boil might cause joint pains/ inflammation when you drink it. That is why it is recommended to throw away the first boil.
Wow 👌 really good 😋👍
Thanx so much!!
Wholly crap, that’s a lengthy process. We here at the western took it for granted with accessibility to food processor. Thank you for showing the labor of love
thx i threw way too many azuki beans into a pot so very helpful to learn while i go xD
That ocean scene at the beginning looks like the opening to final fantasy 8
Danke bruder, du bist maschine
For Hindi speaking who are looking for Hindi name, you can find Azuki beans as "Laal Lobia" or "Laal chowlai"
Absolutely love the rugby vs chess example 🤣
My simple recipe: 1 cup beans, cook in instant pot. 1/3 cup sugar. Blended together with water. Cook in pan until it reduces water. Let it cool
Meine Frau hat vor über einem Jahr zwei Packungen Bohnen gekauft
Endlich weiß ich wie ich sie verbrauchen kann
Danke
gerne! hoffentlich wird es euch schmecken!
aber die sind schon "Azuki Bohnen", gell?
Ja genau azukibohnen
That idea of the charming smile after you tie kimono comes from yourself or a suggestion from someone else? It sets me in the best mood watching your video^_^
Separating the bean skins would be much easier with a ricer. 😊
I love my long-handled wooden spoons to distance my hands from splatters and the heat of the flame on the stove.
I only have "flor de mayo" mexican beans.... but I'll try it anyways. Let's see how it turns out.
Ok, here's my experience: taste and texture were good (made the koshi-an variation), color is plain brown instead or reddish, cooking time probably 4 times more so next time I'll definitely use pressure pan.
Hi Taiji.
I’m wondering if a syphon might give you a better result for draining the water from the settled bean paste.
In case you are unfamiliar with the idea, any flexible hose can be used. The water flows by gravity. The bowl of bean paste with the separated water level must be physically higher than the draining end of the tube. So the draining end can simply go into the sink.
To begin, coil the hose and immerse in the water so no air bubbles are in the hose.
You can even do this in a separate pan of water next to the paste bowl. Place your thumbs over each end of the tube and move one end of the tube into the water level of the bean paste bowl. Remove your thumbs from the two ends of the tube and the water will flow directly into the sink. Keep the suction end of the tube above the level of the paste.
This will give you much more control over the separation process without disturbing the paste.
It’s a kind of meditation. Maybe practice once or twice with just water so you get a feel for the process.
👍
thanx!🤣
for Koshi An, why not soak the bean until it skin separates from the been and discarded before cooking?
Hah. Hi power blender? Stick blender? Food processor? I can't pronounce the Japanes names, anyway. In Indian food they just peel the beans before they cook them and call it dahl. Seems easier than sieving and rinsing to Koshi-an. I once made some sweets with adzuki beans and sugar and agar agar many years ago from a recipe I found. I barely remember, but it tasted pretty good and it all got eaten.
What will happen if we pressure cooker for cooking red beans...will it change the taste of Anko...🤔
Hello Taiji, just brought some adzuki beans online. I am going to try and follow your recipe because i am going to make this for Father's Day, i have one question though, can i soak the beans first to cut the cooking time? Or is it going to affect the Tsubu-an and Koshi-an i am going to make
no it is better not to soak in water bc;
1. the skin of the beans is very bitter and therefore need to throw away the first boiling water
2. but the inside will be too soft and will lose its flavor when boiled (this will be thrown away, if you boil with the soaked beans)
good question, should have answered it in the video.
Just out of curiosity, why can't you use a mixer to break the skin and use a cloth to do the sifting for koshi-an? That could save a lot of work! I think it's cheaper to just buy the anko than going through this much work~
This video has started to make my stomach rumble! 😂 Can I ask, is there a specific type of sugar that is the best to use in these recipes?
its rather a preference thing, but I prefer raw sugar, and I would avoid brown sugar. but at the end of the day, its totally up to you!
Wich of 2 options is better for taiyakis of anko??
Do the beans have to be in dried form? Because I just bought untreated beans on amazon.
Could you preasure cook the beans after the first 10 minutes? I feel like it would be faster and you wouldn't have to watch it for an hour to keep it in water.
Can you add different flavors like chocolate or coconut or vanilla to it and what is the difference between the more smoother one and the more thicker one and again can you add different flavors would you add different flavors is this like a bean pudding
hi! anko is usually eaten with other foods or used as a filling in pastries such as steamed buns, mochi etc. the texture is really only for preference, so it doesn’t matter if you make it chunky or smooth. :)
New friend here take care tomodachi hugs from america
Hi and thanx for your comments!
Can it be eater as a green bean
I know I am a perfect cooker but he way too perfect than me. He way too much detail and these bean look really good. I bet it take him the whole day to finish cooking
Is this paste could be a basic for other dishes? I mean smth else than sweets. I Got only black beans at the moment :(. Thank you for the japanses tradition culture content as well
i have never seen Anko paste used in other dishes other than sweets, but the Azuki beans are sometimes used in some other salty dishes, Sekihan (cooked with rice) or cooked with pumpkin.
you are welcome and thanx for your comment!!
Tried the long koshi-an but I think I added too much water when I started boiling it because I had to boil and stir for a loooong time. Also, it didn't change color and didn't become smoother like the one in the video.
Back after a little experimenting. If you see that the paste doesn't change color and texture, and when it dries turns back into powder form, it needs more sugar.
Using a pressure cooking, you can have the beans cooked in 15 minutes
Next time do the following.
1. But Cardamom and grind just the seeds and add it with the sugar while boiling. You will feel the taste developed.
2. The one your father likes it is good for you. It has more fiber and your guts absorb the nutrients faster.
3. Try adding little bit of lime juice to balance sweetness and acidity. Trust me on this.
4. For the smoother version, I recommend you add dried orange peel . Play around with spices like nutmeg, mace, cinnamon. Enjoy the different version.
I hope you enjoy the different taste!
Did it today but it turned out to sweet
Is there a method to reduce the sugar
I want to make zenzai
oh cool!
well not really, either make more Anko from Azuki and add to it, or wash half or quarter so of the Anko with water and then mix to the unwashed, although with this it will lose some flavor (unless it is Koshian).
@@taijiskitchen thank you for your response I’ll give it a try
@@mahmutmereyem4582 hope it works out!!
I'd buy ready made TUSBUAN in package and heat it with added water to the density of soup. Boila you have perfect ZENNZAI. Of course you need some
plain TOASTED MOCHI in ZENZAI.
I personally like TSUBU-AN better bcz of texture. KOSHI-AN is too sticky and too dense
like in YOKAN for me although it doesn't mean I don't eat it.
Red Bean is different with kidney bean ?
They are very different. Kidney beans are twice maybe 3x bigger than Azuki beans. Even though you can make ANKO from most any beans and are in many
WAGASHI (Japanese sweets) hence you see different color ANKO inside some
Wagashi.
do you live in germany or austria?
I live in Germany, near stuttgart
@@taijiskitchen cool! gar nicht so weit weg 😃 grüsse aus österreich 😎👍
I think those red beans skin, we can eat it as oak meals, we need fiber anyway.
As someone who speaks American English, we would say the water "evaporates" while cooking rather than the water "vaporizes." It's the same thing, but "evaporate" feels more accurate.
oh, thanx so much for your correction!
I actually learned American English, since I live in the US for total of 8 years, but since I have been away for so long, I have forgotten many things, so it is super helpful to get such insights!!
Your English is outstanding!
@@kasymarshall thanx so much!!
Actually Kasy, vaporize and evaporate are synonyms. They are completely interchangeable in “American English”. But in terms of nuanced meaning, vaporizing has a sense of being the consequence of some action taken, like boiling.
Evaporation has more of a sense a passive change of state, like transitioning from solid to liquid to gas (water vapor) when ice melts.
All i want is this but inside mochi and nobody cares they just want hamburgers.
Or.... use a pot twice the size.
Just sayin
This was one thing growing up I didn't like.
well, to each's own.
OOOOO NOOOOO Man! You are wasting nutritious part of the food. Why are you doing all that just to get the fine part of the beans? what a huge disaster. Honestly!!
I know what you mean and I usually don't like to throw away good food. but in order to make quality Koshi-an you need to do this, I put the skin in the compost. but of course you don't want to throw away the skin, then Tsubu-an is the right option for you! thats why I showed both variations!
thanx for your concern!!
THANKS AND NICE ONE!@@taijiskitchen
