Ingredients needed 4 servings
Recipe
Cooking tips
- Soaking beans in onion water softens their structure naturally through the onion’s organic acids and sugars, preventing hardness or skin separation even after cooling.
- Cooking the kelp pieces with the beans deepens the umami flavor and adds a unique chewy texture. If you dislike eating kelp, you can add whole pieces, cook them through, and remove before serving.
- Malt syrup or corn syrup should be thoroughly mixed and cooked down at the final stage with sugar to achieve a glossy sheen and balanced sweetness without cloying aftertaste.
Recommended for
- Those who have repeatedly failed with overly hard or wrinkled soybeans when making soybean side dishes.
- People wanting to enjoy healthy, flavorful, homemade side dishes made with natural ingredients in large quantities.
- Individuals seeking a satisfying, non-repetitive sweet-salty home-style side dish perfect for bento boxes.
