simmered soybeans and vegetables
A traditional Japanese dish of soybeans and diced vegetables simmered together in a sweet-savory broth. Often served as a side dish or in bento.
The gomokumame my mother makes is delicious, with lotus root and konjac in it.
Many households include gomokumame in their New Year's dishes.
筑前煮 is a similar simmered dish but usually features chicken and root vegetables, whereas 五目豆 centers on soybeans.
五目 (gomoku, 'five ingredients' or 'mixed') + 豆 (mame, 'beans'). The name reflects the combination of soybeans with various vegetables.
