Nonetheless, Italian Borlotti beans have a decrease carbohydrate content material (11.8g per 100g when cooked) in comparison with adzuki, and so they’re additionally less expensive and simpler to search out in supermarkets.

The standard technique for making crimson bean paste is kind of prolonged. Nonetheless, through the use of canned beans – that are pre-cooked, and a blender, you may scale back the time significantly.

My recipe includes simply beans, sweeteners, and a pinch of salt, plus just a little xanthan gum, which isn’t strictly obligatory however I discover provides extra physique to the paste.

Plus I’m not one so as to add further fats to my keto recipes except completely obligatory. Perhaps I’ll take a look at my subsequent batch with 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil simply to appease my curiosity – I’ll put up again right here once I do.

So. What on earth compelled me to make a Sugar-Free Purple Bean Paste? The reply is: MOCHI!

I tasted Mochi in Korea lately, and I used to be hooked. Properly, not hooked sufficient to repeat the high-sugar, high-starch expertise…my guts weren’t completely happy, so I wasn’t going to place myself by means of that once more. However it made me decided to create a keto model of Mochi as soon as again dwelling, so this paste is step one.

After all, candy crimson bean paste isn’t only for Mochi. Korea, Japan and China produce all kinds of scrumptious confections with it, and I’ll discover different methods to make use of it.

Admittedly, crimson bean paste could be a ‘marmite’ adore it or hate it affair. In case you’re a low-carber within the ‘adore it’ camp,  you’ve come to the correct place.
