I made mini sweet red bean paste buns, which we call “Anpan”.
The history of Anpan is old, it was first made 150 years ago in Japan. Sesame or poppy seed is put on the top typically.
The sweet red bean paste, called “Anko” is used for almost every Japanese traditional confectionery.
We can make Anko from dry red beans with sugar by ourselves, this time I bought ready-made Anko at a supermarket and made 6 cm diameter mini Anpan for my kids.
