Japanese Sweet Bean Bread Sandwich (Low-Calorie)
An anpan-style sandwich built on a lightly sweetened milk bread roll, filled with a thinned, reduced-sugar red bean paste and a thin layer of light cream cheese. The soft crumb and mild adzuki sweetness stay recognisable while sugar and fat are trimmed, giving a modest, satisfying snack-sandwich.

Instructions
1
Prep
Drain the cooked adzuki beans in a small sieve and transfer to a small saucepan.
2
Simmer
Cook over medium-low heat 4–5 minutes, mashing with a fork until the beans break down into a thick, spreadable paste.
3
Cool
Stir in salt and sugar. Let the paste rest 8–10 minutes until just warm to the touch.
4
Build
Slice the brioche roll horizontally. Spread the light cream cheese on the bottom half, spoon the bean paste evenly over it, close the roll, and press lightly.
5
Plate
Slice the sandwich in half on a board and serve immediately while the bread is still soft.
