Sweet beans may sound odd, but it is a very common thing in Japan and other cultures..think along the lines of baked beans and how sweet they can be...I have extra adukis so I will try this recipe.

Tried the Sweet Aduki Beans and Mochi. Was pretty good, but wouldn't think of it as sweet...I pan fried the mochi with a little (brushed on the pan) almond oil instead of baking it. Was an interesting dish to go with my am veggie/miso soup.
