- Once the edamame beans are mashed, keep grinding as you would grind sesame seeds until it's as smooth as possible.
- Add sugar in several batches, and keep grinding to dissolve.
- Add the salt and grind it in. The zunda-an (edamame bean paste) is done.
- Cut the mochi cakes in half and put in a heatproof dish. Add enough water to cover the mochi, and microwave until softened.
- Drain the mochi well, and serve with the zunda-an.
- Store-bought zunda-an has water to make it more creamy. To make yours like the kind you'd find at the store, add a little water that's been boiled and cooled.
- The zunda-an is also delicious with shiratama dumplings instead of mochi. You can also use it as a spread on bread, or to fill various sweets. The zunda-an can also be frozen if you want to keep it for longer.
