Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 4 tsp agar powder
- 2 T white sugar
- ¼ cup corn syrup
- 500 g fine red bean paste ( 1 package of this brand)
- 2 sheets ladyfingers cake

- Heat the water-agar mixture on medium-high heat, until it becomes thick and bubbly.
- Stir in the white sugar and corn syrup and boil for another minute.
- Lower the heat to low-medium, then add in the bean paste.
- Heat the mixture over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour ⅓ of the mixture into a clean pyrex glass or silicone pan. Press a layer of ladyfingers cake on top.
- Pour another ⅓ of the mixture on top of the cake, then place another layer of ladyfingers cake on top, then pour the rest of the yokan mixture on top.
- Set aside and let cool for about 2-3 hours in the fridge until the middle is completely set ***READ NOTE***
- Cut into bite sized blocks. Enjoy!
Notes
***TIP: The cake will tend to float to the top of the liquid yokan mixture as it cools. To solve this problem, you can place a waxed parchment paper on top, then place a heavy spatula or some sort of weight on top to keep the cake layer level with the liquid.
Another option is to leave some liquid yokan mixture in the pan, reheat over low heat, then pour on top of the cake once it has set
