Question 11

Can I cook ancho paste with it?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. Anko paste is a sweet red bean paste from Japan. For this you need:

200 grams of azuki beans (soaked overnight)
150 grams of sugar (e.g. raw cane sugar, coconut blossom sugar or another sugar alternative)
optional: a pinch of salt

Put the soaked azuki beans in a pot, cover with water and boil briefly. Then drain the water before covering the beans with fresh water (about 1:2 ratio) and boil for about an hour until soft. The water change is necessary so that the beans do not taste bitter afterwards.

When the azuki beans are soft, drain the cooking water into a bowl. Then stir the sugar and salt into the azuki beans and puree to a paste using a blender or a hand blender. If you find the consistency too thick, you can easily stir in some of the cooking water. You can use the Anko paste pure, on bread or as a base for other desserts such as brownies or mochis.
