Simple Sweet Bean Jelly Paste

Ingredients

• 300 grams Tsubu-an
• 3 grams Kanten
• 100 grams Sugar
• 100 ml Water

Instructions

1. Bring the tsubu-an at room temperature.
2. Soak the kanten in water for 1 hour to rehydrate (If using powdered kanten, you can omit this step).
3. Heat a pot of water on medium heat.
4. Wring out the moisture from the kanten, tear it up, and add it to the pot.
5. Boil for several minutes until it is completely dissolved, then add the sugar.
6. Add the tsubu-an little by little as it dissolves.
7. Continuously stir the pot by starting from the point closest to you and scraping the bottom away from you.
8. When you can see the bottom of the pot, the paste is finished.
9. Take the pot off the heat and pour it into a tray.
10. Once it has slightly cooled, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until it hardens.
11. Remove from the tray and cut it into bite-sized pieces, and enjoy.
