Instructions to make Japanese Sweet Azuki Beans:

- The next day, heat the pot of beans until they are almost ready to boil..
- Meanwhile, prepare a big bowl of ice cold water, which you'll be throwing the beans in next. This will "shock" them and help crack the skin so they become softer easily when boiling..
- Drain off the hot water from the beans. Immediately throw them into the ice water..
- Drain beans and put back in pot. Pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low for about 60 minutes until soft. Skim off any foam that rises while simmering. If the water gets low, add a little more..
- Once the beans are soft (they should be easily mashable), mix in the sugar. I used about 100g/half cup. But I recommend starting with less and adding a little at a time until it's sweet enough for you..
- Bring to a simmer again, making sure the sugar is dissolved. If it's too soupy, simmer off some of the liquid..
- That's it! You can optionally pour off some of the water and mash into a paste (called anko). Store it for up to week in the refrigerator, or freeze it along with the liquid..
