I've never heard of sugar soup. Looks strange, but I'd be willing to try it. Where do you suppose I could get this soup? (bad news here, I live in Oklahoma)

[wataru]

It's not sugar soup. It's very sweet, yes, but the main ingredient is red (azuki) beans, and the big white chunks are pounded rice cakes called mochi. It's a Japanese desert dish called oshiruko or zenzai. You might be able to get the real thing at a Japanese restaurant, or a just-add-water kind of thing at an Asian grocery.

lolz

here's a recipe in English, and here's one in Japanese (but it's a bit more involved)

[wataru]

forkies, did you make it yourself, or was it the instant kind that comes in its own styrofoam dish?

[forkies]

i didn't make it, but my friend's father makes it along with the mochi. i helped him once, but god it takes forever (to get it perfect)

i finished it, so i'm off to bed, おやすみなさい

My usual snack is a piece of fruit or a bowl of very crazy cereal

[Severed Hand of Skywalker]

That sounds yummy forkies.

I love Japanese food.

[Pendergast]

Waaaay to sweet for me....

Simple, healthy cereals with frozen fruits (blue or black berries) and goat milk does it well for me. Sometimes, I'll add some parmesan cheese on it.

[font=Courier New]Iemon[/font] is a great brand. I love their bottled green tea, which is available in vending machines and convenience stores everywhere in Japan. I just wish it was easier to get in America.
