Okra yokan style

When pounding okra with a knife, don't try to chop it finely from the beginning. Instead, cut it into thin strips first, then gradually chop it finer. Agar is a type of coagulant, just like agar-agar and gelatin, and is characterized by its ability to solidify at temperatures between 30 and 40°C. You can enjoy its unique smooth texture
