Chestnut zenzai
The key is to thoroughly parboil the red beans before adding the sugar. The amount of sugar in the recipe is only a guideline, so taste it and adjust to your desired sweetness. Most recipes add a small amount of salt to enhance the sweetness, but this recipe uses only sugar to avoid any unpleasant flavors
How to make it
1
Place the beans in a pot, add enough water to cover them, and soak for 30 minutes
2
Bring to a boil, then rinse under running water to remove any scum. Add water to the pot again and simmer over low heat for about 3.5 hours
3
Add about 1/3 of the total amount of sugar and simmer over low heat, skimming off any scum. Add the remaining sugar in 2-3 batches. After simmering for about 20 minutes, remove from heat and pour into serving bowls
