1. Put an appropriate amount of agar powder into a bowl and soak in water for 3 hours. I used 5 grams. The soaking time depends on the type of agar you buy.
2. Wash the red beans and soak them in water for one hour.
3. Then put it in an electric pressure cooker to make bean paste.
4. Filter out the bean paste water. I like to eat bean paste with grains. The taste is relatively coarse, so I did not sieve it. Those who like to eat the delicate taste can go through the sieve again.
5. The chestnuts are peeled and steamed, and cut into small pieces.
6. Pour the soaked agar into a small pot and heat it.
7. Pour in red bean paste and chestnuts.
8. Add the right amount of sugar and add it according to your personal taste, but it must not be less. The unsweetened yokan is not delicious at all.

10. Pour the yokan solution into the fresh-keeping box, cool it and put it in the refrigerator, refrigerate it until it is formed and firm, and cut into pieces before eating.
