Azuki & Walnut Stuffed Matcha Cookies – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 09:15:20 +0000

I saw Fruit Mince stuffed roll cookies on the internet. The picture inspired me to make these ‘Tsubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste) & Walnuts stuffed cookies. I used my ‘Dates & Walnuts Stuffed Coffee Cookies’ recipe. I added Matcha Powder to the dough because Matcha and ‘Tsubu-an’ go very well together.…

Addicted 2 Sushi — Thu, 13 Jan 2022 09:15:18 +0000

This is an extremely popular treat in Japan and I believe it is a kind of soul food for many Japanese. I sometimes crave it, but no shops sell it where I live. If I want to eat it, I have to make it. Using my Basic Sweet Bread Dough,…

Sweet Azuki & Butter Toastie – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Thu, 16 Dec 2021 09:15:33 +0000

‘An Pan’ is a Japanese bread roll filled with Sweet Azuki Paste, ‘Tsubu-an’ OR ‘Koshi-an’. I believe it is one of Japanese soul foods. I often crave it, but it is not easy to find ‘An Pan’ where I live, and it takes a few hours to make it. This…

Addicted 2 Sushi — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 09:15:19 +0000

In the suburb of Melbourne where I live, Japanese sweets are almost impossible to purchase. If I want to eat them, I have to make them. This type of steamed cake is called ‘Manjū’ in Japanese. I never knew that it is quite easy to make until I tried. Makes…

Azuki Stuffed Tapioca Jelly – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Tue, 15 Jun 2021 08:15:13 +0000

This Japanese sweet is traditionally made with ‘Kuzuko’ (Kuzu Starch), which creates its unique soft & rubbery texture. However, real ‘Kuzuko’ is extremely difficult to find and it is expensive. Many ‘Kuzuko’ products are actually a blend of other starch. I have tried to recreate the texture of ‘Kuzuko’ using…

Azuki & Rum Pound Cake – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Wed, 09 Dec 2020 07:15:10 +0000

On the other day, I was making Pound Cake. I decided to add ‘Tsubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste) as I often add extra ingredients to the Pound Cake. For a flavour, I decided to add Rum instead of Vanilla. Then an accident happened! Because of my shaky hands, a lot more…

Addicted 2 Sushi — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 16:15:22 +0000

Today I was making ‘An Pan’, that is a Japanese sweet bread roll filled with Sweet Azuki (Red Bean) Paste. Suddenly my ‘laziness’ kicked in and I wanted to make something easier. So, instead of wrapping the Azuki paste with the dough, I rolled it, placed it in a loaf…

There is a popular fried dumpling filled with Sweet Azuki Paste and coated with Sesame Seeds. I tried to make it using Spring Roll Wrappers. This dessert is absolutely easy to make. Fried crunchy Sesame Seeds and Sweet Azuki Paste are delicious when combined. I like to use Black Sesame…

Beetroot & Azuki Rice – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Tue, 02 Jun 2020 14:15:05 +0000

‘Sekihan’ is steamed short grain glutinous rice cooked with Azuki (Red Beans). It is traditionally prepared to celebrate special occasions in Japan, because of its red colour which is symbolic of happiness. On the other day, I realised that I knew one vegetable that could make absolutely everything RED. That…

I have a super easy ‘Azuki Ice Cream’ recipe and it can be made with two ingredients, Tsubu-an (Sweet Azuki Paste) and Cream. Because some people find it too creamy, I have made a lighter version. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 1/2 cup Milk1 to 2 tablespoons Sugar *OR Condensed Milk2…

Azuki & Carrot Salad – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 13:15:07 +0000

‘Azuki’ are small red beans and most commonly used to make sweets in Japan. However, they can be used for savoury dishes as well. I often cook them with Rice. Because Azuki are small and cook fairly quickly like Lentils, it’s easy to add to salads. Makes 2 Servings Ingredients…

‘Sekihan’, steamed Short Grain Glutinous Rice cooked with Azuki (Red Beans), is sometimes cooked with Chestnuts as well. But Chestnuts are not commonly available where I live. I looked for a substitute for Chestnuts and I tried some different nuts. Now I can tell you that the best substitute is…

Addicted 2 Sushi — Wed, 23 Jan 2019 01:15:13 +0000

In Melbourne where I live, you can enjoy all sort of delicious icy desserts, but you can’t find this. I loved this dessert when I was a child and I still love it. It is so easy to make if you have icy pole moulds. If you don’t have the…

Matcha & Azuki Roll Cake – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 23:15:12 +0000

This cake recipe is almost identical to ‘Butter Beans Cocoa Cake’. I simply replaced Cocoa Powder with Matcha Powder. ‘Azuki’ Red Bean Paste is a very common and popular ingredient for Asian sweets. Canned ‘Azuki’ paste is available from most Asian grocery stores. White Chocolate Ganache or Muscovado Whipped Cream…
