Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Left: red beans, right: black pepper
* Step 2
Wash the red beans.
* Step 3
Put them and enough water to cover in a pot. I used a pressure cooker to save cooking time.
* Step 4
Heat the pot until it comes to a boil, uncovered. Skim the foam from the surface.
* Step 5
Add water up to twice the height of beans.
* Step 6
Cover the pot with a lid and heat it until it boils. Cook them for 15 minutes with a pressure. In case you don't have a pressure cooker, simmer the beans for about 45 minutes until they become soft.
* Step 7
When the pressure cooker cools down, open the lid and add salt and sugar. Simmer them over low heat for about 5 minutes to reduce its broth with mixing. The texture of anko becomes thicker.
* Step 8
Store it in a jar and it will last for about a week in a fridge. You can eat anko with mochi, toast and so on.
* Step 9
You can use anko for Dorayaki ingredients.
