Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash beans and soak in water overnight (about 8 hours).

  2. 2

    Boil soaked beans in water for 20 minutes until tender.

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Reduce to low heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

Tips

Soaking fully reduces cooking time and allows seasoning to penetrate.
Black soybeans (soritae) produce a glossier, more visually appealing result.
