Rabbit Wagashi Mooncake Recipe

Anko bean paste
On my last trip to London I stumbled upon a wonderful Japanese confectionary shop. I found these adorable rabbit shaped wagashi and purchased a few a gifts. 
Having never made wagashi before, I thought these would be a good place to start.

I made the Shiro-an and Anko paste, you can find these recipes in my previous posts.

Please click the post for the recipe.

Shiro-an Paste Recipe

Japanese
I wanted to make some wagashi, but unfortunately couldn't find any shiro-an paste either online or at the shops, so I decided to make some.

Ingredients;
650g Broad beans (also know as lima beans)
150g granulated sugar

Makes around 350g of paste

1.
Pour the beans into a pan. I used tinned beans, but you can use dried if you wanted. If you use dried you will need to repeat the boiling process 3 times (changing the water each time).
