Zenzai (Oshiruko) - Red Bean Soup with Mochi ???? • Just One Cookbook

"A warm bowl of homemade Zenzai or Oshiruko (red bean soup) with toasted mochi! Here're 3 ways to make this popular winter dessert in Japan...."

INGREDIENTS
7 oz azuki beans ((200 g or 1 cup))
4 cups water ((960 ml))
pinch kosher/sea salt (use half for table salt)
6 oz sugar ((170 g or ¾ cup; It's sweet enough for me. Typically 150-200 g sugar is used for 200 g azuki beans))
3.5 oz red bean paste (anko) ((100 g or roughly ½ cup; Here's my homemade recipe.))
½ cup water ((120 ml or more if you desire))
pinch kosher/sea salt (use half for table salt)
4 pieces kirimochi or homemade mochi ((Here's my Homemade Mochi recipe. You can also use my Shiratama Dango recipe for this red bean soup.))
