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!
