Ingredients
- 11 oz edamame (1 package)
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- ⅛ tsp kosher salt Diamond Crystal brand
- 2 tsp water (as needed)
- 4 mochi Japanese rice cake
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Add frozen edamame in boiling, unsalted water.
- Cook on medium heat for 15–20 minutes until tender. They should be softer than regular edamame you eat as a snack. Drain the water.
- Discard the pods.
- Using your fingers, push the edamame to remove the thin outer skin.
- Roughly chop the edamame with the knife (this will facilitate the next step) and transfer to suribachi.
- Crush and grind the edamame, leaving some pieces chunky.
- Add the sugar and blend.
- Add the salt and blend. Salt brings out more flavor without further adding more sugar. Add a little bit of water to make it softer.
- Cook the rice cakes in boiling water for 4–5 minutes.
- Remove from the boiling water. Transfer to a plate.
- Using chopsticks, gently spread out the cooked mochi a bit. Top with the sweet edamame. Serve immediately.
