Korea
Hobakjuk
Korean squash porridge, silky and thick, with little sweet rice balls
60 min·4 servings
Red (adzuki) beans
Small reddish-brown beans with a nutty, faintly sweet flavour, cooked in Korea mostly into sweet bean paste and porridge.
Dried adzuki beans are sold in Asian grocers, health food shops and organic stores; ready-made sweet bean paste is usually found only in Asian grocers or online.
Substitute:
Small red kidney beans will do at a pinch but give a coarser, less fragrant paste with tougher skins; for sweet fillings, ready-made adzuki paste is the better fallback.
