For me, my easiest fix for a sweet tooth is 'mochi', a japanese sticky rice ball usually filled with red bean or other things (i'm only familiar with red bean). Traditional variations of this dessert is quite complicated to make but my cheat's way only takes 4 minutes... hehe.
Basically, you want a ratio of 1 glutinous rice flour: 1 water and: 1/3 of sugar. Mix it well and put it in the microwave on high for 4 minutes. It should come out just like mochi! Then pour red bean paste in it.
It doesn't look anything like it, but it tastes just as good .

Is the red bean paste in a jar, like the fermented beans? We'll try this...we love mochi.
Here's my easy recipe for one of my favorite snacks:
Frozen Edamames (soy beans, still in their pods)
sesame oil
salt
Place beans in microwavable bowl. Cover with water. Heat in microwave for two minutes, or until hot.
Drain water. Add splash of sesame oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss. Enjoy!
