Ingredients for 6 pieces:
Preparation time 20 minutes
6 strawberries
180g anko* (sweet red bean paste)
100g shiratamako (glutinous rice flour)
10g sugar
120ml water
a little katakuriko (potato starch)
*you can make anko from scratch but you can also buy good premade anko at Japanese supermarkets such as Workshop Issé, 11 rue Saint-Augustin 75002 Paris
1. Wash the strawberries and dry them well, then remove the hull.
2. Divide anko into 6 pieces (30g per piece).
3. Wrap strawberries with anko to create a round ball.
4. Mix shiratamako and sugar in a heat resistant bowl. Add water little a little and mix very well with a spatular.
5. Wrap the bowl and heat in the microwave at 600W for 2 minutes then mix with the spatular. Repeat this step one more time.
6. When the paste becomes a little transparent and sticky, put it in a metal cooking bat and sprinkle a little katakuriko on it.
7. Separate the paste in 6 pieces and sprinkle some more katakuriko on top it.
8. Thin the paste using the back of your hand and place the anko-strawberry on the paste and wrap completely from the sides, keeping a round form. (It’s easier to wrap when the paste is still warm. Be careful, the paste becomes hard when it’s cold.)
The recipe is presented on a small rinka plate from Maison Sato's selection..
