Steps:
- Soak lima beans in water overnight, or at least 6 hours.
- Remove tough outer skin. Although it is a tedious process, it ensures a smooth bean paste.
- Change water before cooking. Don't start off cooking the beans using too much water (beans retain water easily).
- Cook beans over low heat for at least 1 hour until beans are soft and easily mashable. Make sure to use enough water so the beans do not scorch. Stir often to prevent burning. #SpoonTip: If you have a slow-cooker, you can use that instead.
- Drain water and put beans in a food processor, or mash, to eliminate lumps and pieces until you achieve a smooth paste. The paste should retain some water.
- Add a dash of salt and the 2 ½ cups of sugar. Mix thoroughly. Paste will become more watery.
- Simmer over low heat for about 1 hour (cooking times may vary), stirring constantly, until the paste becomes dry enough to reach a thick consistency. The paste should be dry enough to be manipulated with hands to form a ball shape (aim for a moist cookie dough consistency).
- Alternatively, you can put the bean paste in the microwave at 4 minute intervals until the consistency is reached.
- Let it cool. The shiro-an will continue to dry a bit more after cooling.
- The recipe can be doubled if desired. Shiro-an can last up to 6 months in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the fridge before use.
MANJU (JAPANESE SWEET BEAN PASTE COOKIES)
These baked manju are filled with koshi an, a smooth paste made of red (azuki) beans and sugar. This recipe uses canned koshi an from the Asian grocery, which saves hours of work.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
- Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Beat eggs, 1 at a time, into creamed butter until smooth; add vanilla extract and beat well.
- Sift flour and baking powder together in a bowl. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture, mixing well after each addition, until dough is smooth.
- Generously flour your hands. Make walnut-size balls from the dough and press into 4-inch circles on a floured surface, making the circles thicker in the center and thinner on the edges. Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons koshi an in the center of each dough circle. Gather the edges together and pinch dough around the filling until sealed. Place dough balls, pinched-side down, on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Brush dough balls with evaporated milk.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

BAKED MANJU
I have a friend in Hawaii who sends me recipes to make for my kids. Sometimes they work...sometimes they are an "acquired" taste. This one was a winner! I think she got this recipe from the Chamber of Commerce. The recipe does double (and actually the doubled recipe would use a full can of the an). If you're expecting a traditional Japanese dessert, look elsewhere. This isn't the same kind of manju with the glutinous rice (mochi) on the outside...actually it's closer to kuri manju without the chestnut and with a completely different filing.

SWEET POTATO MANJU
Since I am just a kid, I am not allowed to cook often at my house. I live in South Korea, where sweet potatoes are just the best! I got this recipe from my cooking school and wanted to share a Korean taste.
