Cock Adzuki Red Beans 400g

Adzuki beans (팥), often called red beans, are a staple ingredient in many Korean and Japanese desserts and sweet dishes. These small, reddish-brown legumes are prized for their subtly sweet, nutty flavour and soft, floury texture when cooked. They are most famously used to make a sweet red bean paste, which serves as a filling for a wide variety of treats, including mochi, steamed buns, and pastries. To prepare, simply soak the dried beans overnight, then simmer until tender before sweetening with sugar to create your own homemade paste. These versatile beans can also be added to rice for a dish known as patbap (팥밥) in Korea, or used in soups and porridges. This 400g pack provides a generous amount for experimenting with classic East Asian sweet recipes at home. They are a fundamental component of the Asian pantry, essential for anyone interested in making authentic desserts.
