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

Place the beans in a pot, add enough water to cover them, and soak for 30 minutes
