Strawberry Jello Yokan image

An easy and delicious recipe. Usually made with azuki beans and kanten (agar agar) sticks. Yokan is usually included in menus during Christmas and New Years Celebrations in Hawaii by those of Japanese descent. This recipe is much easier than melting the kanten sticks with water and sugar and making your own Koshian (red bean paste). Itadaki masu! (Cooking time is refigeration time to set)

I'm allergic to strawberries, so I used raspberries instead. The yokan still turned out great!

The yokan didn't set properly for me. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This yokan was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.
