~ Anko II (Imitation with Kidney Beans, Honey)


Taken from:
-

Description:
Imitation japanese red bean paste with honey~

Ingredients:
1 can kidney beans (15.25 ounce), drained and rinsed
3 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp honey

Directions (for 250g anko):
1) Boil kidney beans, sugar and water in saucepan, stirring constantly till water is almost dried up.
2) Mash up the beans till a paste is formed, and store in the fridge until use.

Remarks:
Eeks, why do I always forget to take a picture of my anko before stuffing it into some recipe? Anyway, the honey in this anko recipe adds a unique taste and complemented the saltiness of the beans. However, I found that it seemed too sweet, perhaps one tbsp less of honey will do the trick :)
