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.

@jimdeane3667 Жыл бұрын
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.

@OWK000 7 ай бұрын
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.

@taijiskitchen 11 ай бұрын
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.

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!

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~

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.

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.
