Pressure Cooker Gomoku-Mame (5 ingredient beans)
- 100 grams Soy beans (dried)
- 50 grams Carrot
- 1/3 to 1/3 of a block Konnyaku
- 40 grams Burdock root
- 3 Shiitake mushrooms
- 10 grams Kombu
- 50 grams Beet sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp Mirin
- 2 1/2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 400 ml Water
- Preliminaries: Soak the dried soy beans in water overnight.
- If you are using dried shiitake mushrooms, soak them in water to reconstitute.
- Wipe the surface of the konbu seaweed gently with a wrung out kitchen towel.
- Chop the other ingredients: Cut the carrot, konnyaku, burdock root, shiitake mushrooms and konbu seaweed into about 1 cm squares.
- Quickly boil the konbu seaweed or pour boiling water over it, and soak the burdock root in water.
- Boil the soy beans: Put 2 cups of water and the soaked soy beans from Step 1 into a pressure cooker, lock on the lid and bring it up to pressure over high heat.
- When it has reached pressure and steam has started coming out of the vents, turn the heat down to low.
- 2 minutes after turning the heat down to low, turn off the heat.
- When the pressure has come down a little, press down on the valve (or shift the weight) to let the steam escape.
- When the cooker has depressurized, open the lid and check the beans for doneness.
- Flavor the stock: Reserve the soy bean cooking liquid.
- Drain the beans into a sieve over a bowl to catch the cooking liquid.
- Transfer back just 1 cup of the liquid to the pressure cooker.
- Put the cooked soy beans from Step 5 and the Step 2 cut up ingredients in the pressure cooker.
- Add the seasoning ingredients.
- Adjust the seasoning ingredients to taste.
- Simmer: Follow Steps 3 and 4 again to cook the ingredients under pressure (cook for 3 minutes over low heat, otherwise the procedure is the same).
- Taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Simmer with the lid off (just as with a conventional pan) over low heat until there is almost no liquid left.
- This usually takes about 10 minutes.
- Then just turn off the heat, let it cool down and it's done.
- (The ingredients will soak up more flavor from the simmering liquid as it cools.)
- Transfer to a storage container and refrigerator.
- It's especially delicious 2 to 3 days later.
