Title: Sweet Shiruko
Categories: Japanese, Dessert
Yield: 4 Servings

4 Toasted rice cakes

MMMMM---------------------SHIRUKO BEAN PASTE--------------------------
5 oz Adzuki beans
4 c Water
3 c Sugar
1 pn Salt
1 tb Dogtooth starch; dissolved
-in:
1 ts Water

Soak the adzuki beans for half a day. Drain and put fresh water just
covering the surface of beans. Heat and when it has begun to boil,
drain the beans, add enough fresh water to cover, and boil it again.
Repeat the process of draining, adding fresh water, boiling and
draining two more times. Pour 4 c fresh water over the drained beans
and simmer over a low heat for 2 hours until the beans become tender.
Add sugar and salt to taste.

Heat the Shiruko made one day before. Put dogtooth starch dissolved
with water in it and stir a little.

Fill up each bowl with steaming hot Shiruko, put a toasted rice cake
in the bowl, and serve.

M's note. I think that dogtooth starch is made out of the corm of some
lily: you might substitute arrowroot or corn starch.
