Prepare all the ingredients needed: soybeans, salt, and water.

Identify the two types of soybeans: white soybean for fitfit and soybean stew, and the non-white soybean for snacks like shiro.

Dry roast the soybeans on low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Check the soybeans for readiness by observing the color and listening for a 'ta ta ta' sound.

Once ready, add warm water to the roasted soybeans.

Add salt to the mixture and stir to ensure even boiling.

Allow the mixture to boil, stirring occasionally to check for sufficient water.

Ensure the mixture is not too smooth, as it should be crunchy and moist.

Continue stirring until the water evaporates and the desired consistency is reached.

Remove from heat once the water is absorbed and the snack is ready.
