A traditional Japanese sweet bean dish, azuki beans are quickly pressure-cooked and thickened with a sugar-free sweetener. This lighter version of a traditional dessert is presented as suitable for people with diabetes.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Add the Beans to the Pressure Cooker

3 min

Add the rinsed azuki beans and water to a pressure cooker, then close the lid.

2

Cook Under Pressure

25 min

Bring the pressure cooker to a boil over high heat. Once it whistles, reduce the heat to low and cook for 25 minutes.

3

Wait for the Pressure to Release

10 min

Remove the pressure cooker from the heat and wait 10 minutes for the pressure to release naturally.

4

Add the Sweetener

7 min

Lightly mash the beans, then add the erythritol and salt. Cook over low heat for 5 more minutes, stirring, until thickened.

Reminder

Do not mash the beans completely smooth; the traditional texture should retain a few pieces.
