3 leaves Spring cabbage
1 small Spring onion
6 Early Chinese chives
1 pack Mixed beans (or soy beans or any other beans you like)
1 tbsp Umeshu (Japanese plum wine)
1 pinch Salt and pepper
4 small size or 2 large size Umeboshi
1 tbsp Ponzu
1 heaping tablespoon Ground sesame seeds (white)
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Mayonnaise
2 tsp Sesame oil
2 leaves Shiso leaf to taste

1
Chop (or tear) cabbage into 3 cm pieces.
2
Put the cabbage into a large, deep frying pan.
3
Thinly slice the onion and layer it over the cabbage.
4
Drain the excess liquid from the beans in a strainer and layer it over the onions.
5
Mince the umeboshi (about 1 tablespoon worth).
6
If you steam the umeboshi seed, it will come out clean, so no need to make any effort to remove the surrounding pulp; just remove the seed before serving.
7
Season first with salt and pepper, and then with the umeshu.
8
Cook covered for one minute over high heat.
9
Cut the Chinese chives into 2 cm lengths.
10
Slice the bottom 3 cm off the base of the stalk into thin slices.
11
Prepare the ingredients.
12
Remove the lid (keep on high heat).
13
Add the ingredient mixture, then chives, and blend (turn off the heat after less than a minute).
14
Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with sesame oil, toss, and serve.
15
By the time it cools, most of the liquid should be absorbed.
16
For garnishing, then sprinkle on some roasted sesame seeds or shiso leaves.
17
If you're making this during the short spring season, add nanohana (broccoli rabe).
