Steps

1

Wash the kuromame quickly, and rehydrate in 800 ml of water for minimum 5 hours (or overnight, if possible).
2

Here are the kuromame after 5 hours of rehydrating. They have gotten noticeably larger after soaking. The soaking liquid will be jet black.
3

Do not get rid of the soaking liquid. Put 3 nails into the soaking liquid and the kuromame.
4

Put 600 ml of soaking liquid, kuromame, and the remaining ingredients into a pressure cooker, and turn the heat on. Remove any scum once it boils. Add water if there aren't enough soaking liquid.
5

Place the steaming basket (or a drop lid) into the pressure cooker. This prevents the kuromame from popping out of the cooking liquid.
6

Cover the pressure cooker and bring it up to pressure. Simmer for 20 minutes under pressure. Once 20 minutes have passed, turn the heat off, and let sit for 1 hour.
7

Transfer the broth into a pot and simmer to reduce until it is half the original amount.
8

Add the kuromame into the pot. Once it boils, cook for 2 minutes at the lowest heat. Let cool in the pot. It's done when the kuromame has cooled down!
9

Serve on a small dish, and enjoy the plump kuromame!
