Desserts
Desserts are often made simply from sweetened fruit. Some more refined are presented here.
Red Bean-Sauce · 餡
The production of Red Bean-Sauce is a time-consuming thing
to do since the beans get mellow slowly. You may use the
sauce as stuffing for Mochi or dilute it with
water that it suits to ice cream.
| Red Bean-Sauce |
|---|
| | Ingredients | Preparation | 250 g red beans
(Azuki)
300 g sugar
½ teaspoon salt
|
Cook the beans for two hours in plenty of
water. Replace the evaporated water again and
again. Add sugar and salt only if the beans are
mellow. Cook for another 10 minutes with low
heat. Stir from time to time. Pour off beans and
puree them. Pass eventually through a sieve.

Mochi is steamed, strained Japanese sweet
rice with many nutrients and is easy to digest. The
Mochi are therefore roasted in a flat
pan without fat.
