3 Tbsp sugar
⅛ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
2 tsp water ((as needed))
4 Japanese rice cake (kiri mochi)

Langkah-langkah

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.
