Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse black soybeans and soak for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Simmer soaked beans with water and kelp over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove kelp, then add soy sauce and brown sugar; braise 10 more minutes.

  4. 4

    When beans are tender, add corn syrup and reduce 3–4 minutes until glossy.

  5. 5

    Turn off heat, mix in sesame oil and sesame seeds, then cool completely.

Tips

Adding soy sauce too early can keep beans firm.
Cooling fully before refrigerating helps maintain a glossy finish.
