Zunda-mochi is a traditional dessert of Northeast Japan. It is mochi covered with zunda, which is sweet edamame (green soybeans) paste.

Instructions to make Vibrant Green Creamy Zunda Edamame Mochi (Ohagi):
- Boil the edamame in salted water. Boiling a little longer than usual will make it easy when smashing them.
- Remove the edamame from the pods, and remove the thin membrane as well. This takes patience! I get tired halfway through too, but keep at it~.
- Place the peeled edamame into a mortar, and grind with a wooden pestle. You hit the edamame, so it becomes pounded bean paste (zunda) for the rice cakes . Mash with your willpower!
- Once the bean chunks have disappeared, add salt and sugar, and mash even further until smooth. It will be hard if there is not enough sugar, and will be a really loose an paste if there is too much. Adjust to your preference while checking the taste.
- For those of you who lack willpower, feel free to use a food processor. This will leave behind a few grains, but it will smooth out when you mash it up in a mortar with salt and sugar.
- Yes! It is done~ . We made a pretty green zunda-an. Good job! You can save this paste in the fridge.
- As for the ohagi rice cakes, cook mochi rice and non-glutinous rice in a 1:1 ratio, and half-smash in a mortar etc. while it is still hot. Don't let it live, and don't kill it…
- Roll the rice cakes into easy-to-eat pieces and coat with the paste. Coat the remaining rice cakes in grated sesame. Now, let's enjoy. These are delicious and homemade.
- This is a heavy cream and zunda-an paste sandwiches . These are warm and fluffy soft sandwiches. It's also really good in cream puffs.
- These are tofu shiratama dango dumplings.
- Post-script: I was able to make a smooth paste in a food processor. After adding sugar and salt, I blended for longer until it thickened and it turned out ok.
