Cooking tips

  • The beans will be hard if eaten immediately, but after 12 hours they absorb moisture and become pleasantly chewy.
  • Oligosaccharide syrup or cooking syrup is sweeter than starch syrup, so use with caution.
  • Using domestic soybeans yields a much nuttier flavor.

Recommended for

  • those looking for a nostalgic side dish.
  • those who enjoy nutty soybean dishes.
  • those wanting a simple basic side dish.
