Description
Six small bowls of sweet adzuki bean and sweet-potato ginger soup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Dried adzuki beans
- 7 cups Water
- 1 ounce Fresh ginger, sliced
- 1 pound Orange-fleshed sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1/3 cup Rock sugar or granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon Fine salt
Instructions
- Sort and rinse 1 cup dried adzuki beans. Place in a large saucepan with 7 cups water and 1 oz sliced fresh ginger. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer covered until beans are fully tender, roughly 75–90 minutes; add measured hot water if liquid falls below beans.
- Add 1 lb peeled sweet potato cut into even one-inch cubes. Simmer another 15–20 minutes until cubes are soft but mostly intact.
- Stir in 1/3 cup rock or granulated sugar and 1/8 tsp salt only after the beans are tender. Simmer briefly to dissolve. Adjust sweetness only in a documented revision, not by silently changing the card.
- Ladle into six small dessert bowls and serve warm. Record bean age, actual water addition, final broth concentration and potato integrity in a kitchen trial.
Notes
Recipe-development draft; not kitchen-tested. Timing and yield are estimates. Nutrition has not been calculated.
Untested upper estimate: dry adzuki beans may need 75–90 minutes, sweet potato 15–20 minutes and brief sugar dissolution; actual age and size vary.
