Instructions
- Soak the azuki beans for 6 hours, then cook them for 45 minutes until tender, and drain them.
- Cook the glutinous rice with a little water in a pot so it becomes nicely sticky.
- Mix the still-warm rice with the azuki beans, then roughly mash everything with a spatula.
- Shape patties about 1 cm thick with damp hands and let them dry for 30 minutes.
- Grill the patties in a dry skillet or in the oven at 200 °C (390 °F) for 15 to 20 minutes, turning them over.
- Brush with soy sauce mixed with sugar and optionally wrap with a strip of nori.
Variations and tips
Sweet version. Brush with a little honey at the end of cooking instead of soy sauce.
