Red Bean Cakes

There is a food called “羊羹” (Red Bean Cakes)

In the Japanese tea ceremony, there is a snack called 羊羹, which is a very delicious traditional local snack. However, it is rumored that this snack was not created by Japan, but was introduced into Japan by China.

羊羹 is a soup cooked with mutton, cooled and solidified. Later, Japan has been learning Chinese culture. 羊羹 was introduced to Japan by Zen Buddhism. Since monks could not eat meat, they switched to bean ingredients to make 羊羹. Since then, 羊羹 has developed very well in Japan and has become a famous tea ceremony.

The Japanese pursue a refined life. They are constantly renovating and innovating in the process of eating 羊羹. Now we have seen many types of 羊羹 in the market, and the appearance has also changed more beautifully.

Many years later, 羊羹 was taken to Taiwan. Taiwanese have added oolong tea, honey, apples, pineapples and other flavors to the 羊羹. Today, Taiwan’s 羊羹 is not lost to Japan at all, especially in Yuli Township, Hualien County, Taiwan, and Suao Township, Yilan. Their 羊羹 is especially famous both inside and outside the island, and has become a representative of local souvenirs.

The practice of red bean 羊羹:

Main materials: red bean paste, agar, sugar

1. Rinse the agar with clean water, put it in the pot, add appropriate amount of water, and soak for 20 minutes.
2. Heat on low heat and gently stir the agar that has been soaked so that it completely melts.
3. Add red bean paste and sugar, continue to heat on low heat, and keep stirring until the mixture is completely even and becomes viscous, then turn off the heat.
4. Pour it into the fresh-keeping box, cool it and put it in the refrigerator until it is completely solidified and take it out.
