I used to make this by soaking dried soy beans overnight and so on, which was a lot of work. Ready-cooked soy beans are available, so I make this classic bean dish easily now.

I try to use a little sugar as possible when cooking. This is not sweet simmered beans; it's gomoku-mame, a side dish served at dinner time, so I've kept the sweetness down.
It's really easy to make since pre-cooked soy beans are used.
There are no lotus roots in the photo, but iyou could to enjoy the crunchy texture. Recipe by mielle
