* (This I have seen dry in Chinese stores, may find canned in Japanese grocery stores but do not get the kind which has whole beans in it... a "from scratch" recipe follows)
No guarantees since these recipes are NOT tested and also been through a horrible translator (me :-). Also, if I remember correctly the c. and teaspon/Tbsp. measures don't translate 1-to-1 with US measures. (if anyone knows what the conversion is please post!) I tried to pick out some easy ones using relatively common ingredients (IMHO).
If anyone tries these, let me know if they worked ok, maybe I'll try them as a school project ;- )
this is a traditional summer sweet.
Wash agar agar well, wring out moisture then break into little pcs. (I have seen powders too!). Soak 30 min ore more in 4 c. water. Then heat on medium heat till melted.
Add in the bean paste gradually. Heat till all blaneded and little bubbles appear on the surface. Simmer on low 1 - 2 more min.
Remove from heat, add in salt. Float saucepan in a bowl of cool water, and mix continuously till cooled to about skin temperature.
Rinse out a square pan (there is a special metal pan which lifts out in 2 pcs, but any shallow pan will work) with cool water. Pour in the mix and chill til hard. (It should be about 2" thick max).
Cut into pcs when hard and wrap with cherry tree leaves.
