The ingredients needed to make Our Family Recipe for Ohagi, Passed Down Over Three Generations:
  1. Take 250 grams Dried azuki beans
  2. Get 300 grams Sugar
  3. Get 1 pinch Natural salt
  4. Get 300 ml Mochi rice
  5. Prepare 200 ml White rice
  6. Make ready 1 Kinako
Instructions to make Our Family Recipe for Ohagi, Passed Down Over Three Generations:
  1. Rinse the adzuki beans and soak in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and drain. Repeat this 2~3 times.
  2. Combine the beans with 5 times the amount of water in the pan and bring to a boil. Then turn down the heat to low, and cook until the beans are tender. Add water from time to time.
  3. This time, it took 1 hour and 40 minutes to cook the beans until they were tender. Now, you only need enough water to cover the beans. If there is too much water in the pan, discard. Then add sugar and salt. (Note: Don't add sugar before the beans become tender.) Cover and leave to stand overnight.
  4. The next morning, cook over low heat until there is not much water left in the pan. Make the regular white rice first. For the mochi rice, rinse and soak in hour for 1 hour, then cook in a rice cooker with the same amount of water as you'd use for regular rice.
  5. When the water in the pot is almost gone, stay close to the pan! Stir with a wooden spatula gently from the bottom. It's done when the adzuki beans drop slowly from the spatula. Leave to cool down. Don't worry if you think it's too soft, because it will thicken up a bit when it cools down.
  6. When the rice is cooked, mash while it is still hot, using a moistened wooden pestle. Mash the rice until it is still a bit lumpy. You won't waste any ingredients if you match the number of rice balls and anko portions. We always use kinako powder to use up the leftover rice.
  7. For anko ohagi: Put a piece of cling film on your hand and put 1 portion of anko on top. Flatten the anko. Place a rice ball on top. Wrap the anko around the rice ball.
  8. For kinako ohagi: Wet your hands and flatten a rice ball on your hands. Put a small portion of anko on top. Make a barrel-shaped rice ball using both hands. Coat with a loooooot of kinako powder. (We don't add any sugar to the kinako as it gets sticky after a while, but it's up to you).
  9. These are our pride and joy! We make a lot to share.
