Emi took me out last night and we caught up on each other's lives. She gave me an Omiyage (お土産 - a souvenir that is usually a type of regional food) from Sendai. It's a type of mochi covered with sweet edamame paste. It's called Zunda Mochi and it's really delicious. If you don't like the idea of Edamame beans in your dessert, or the idea of eating a green dessert, you might not like it. You should still try it, though.
1 cup defrosted frozen edamame
2 tbsp soy milk
2 tbsp sugar
1 pinch sea salt
Puree everything in a food processer until it achieves the texture you like. If you leave chunks of Edamame, it ends up looking better.
Follow that link for the entire recipe.
It's so funny that Emi and I lived together for a year and are only now getting to know each other well. I guess that when we lived together, we were both too shy to ask each other very personal questions, so we stuck to easy topics like travel, boys, work-related stories, food, inside jokes, movies and the television programs that we used to watch together every day.
