Food Processor
Food processor
Japanese: フードプロセッサー
A modern tool for efficiently mashing soybeans. Processes large quantities quickly.
An electric appliance that chops food with blades. Steamed soybeans can be mashed to paste in seconds. Far faster than hand or mortar methods, powerful for large batches.
Do not overfill — process about half capacity at a time for efficiency. Over-processing creates stickiness that traps air, so stop at desired particle size. Small batches by hand, large ones by processor — choose accordingly. Texture is adjustable by processing time. Pulsing in 5-second bursts while checking is the trick. Leaving coarseness for chunky-style miso is also popular.
