  1. Remove the seeds of 4 pickled plums (umeboshi). Finely chop the skin and flesh, then use the flat side of the knife to flatten and mash it into a paste.

  3. When the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it gently bubble for about 30 seconds while stirring continuously to prevent burning.
