Ingredients

5 servings
  1. 150 gramsKuromame
  2. 800 mlWater
  3. 120 gramsSugar
  4. 2 tspSoy sauce
  5. 2 pinchSalt
  6. 3Nails (iron)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 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. 3

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

  4. 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. 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. 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. 7

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

  8. 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. 9

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