Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Adzuki Beans

    Rinse the adzuki beans under cold water and place them in a pot with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer the beans for about 1 hour or until they are tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sweet Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked adzuki beans with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Mash the beans until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cake Batter

    In another bowl, mix together the rice flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the coconut milk, stirring until you have a smooth batter.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Fold the cooled adzuki bean mixture into the batter until well combined.

  6. 6

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush with vegetable oil.

  7. 7

    Cook the Cakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each cake. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove the cakes from the skillet and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
