How to make MIZU YOUKAN | Red Bean Jelly | Summer Dessert
Mizu Yokan
Mizu Yokan is a Japanese Wagashi, made with red bean paste and Kanten.
Kanten is a Japanese traditional gelling agent made from seaweed.
That’s what I call “Vegan Gelatin,” you can set liquid at room temperature.
See the link below for more information.
It’s a summer dessert, serve chilled, and has a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
What I love about it is it requires only a few ingredients and is easy to make!
Of course, it’s good for your health!
