Make Your Own
To make your own sweet red beans, which can be puréed in a food processor to make red bean paste, soak 1 cup dried adzuki beans in water overnight. Drain and put the beans in a saucepan with 4 cups water and simmer for 90 minutes. Stir in ½ cup sugar and cook for 10 more minutes, stirring often. Squash the beans with a wooden spoon in the saucepan and stir to thicken. Remove from heat and purée in a food processor for a smoother paste. Chill in the refrigerator before using.
