Black Soybeans
Delicious slow cooked black soy beans.
Prep Time
2 min
Cooking Time
2 hours
Servings
4
Ingredients
1 cup black soybeans
1 inch piece kombu, rinsed and soaked (discard soaking water)
2 cups water
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp soy sauce (shoyu or tamari)
Steps
Wash and soak the beans in 2 cups of water (1 cup per 1/2 cup of beans) for at least 7 hours (or overnight).
Place kombu, beans, and soaking water in a heavy pot and bring to a boil without a cover. Skim off and discard the gray foam that appears.
Cover and reduce flame to medium-low and simmer, occasionally adding water to cover the beans, for approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beans are 70-80% done.
Season with sea salt and cover and simmer for another 1/2 hour until completely done. At the very end add soy sauce and cook off remaining liquid.
Mix and serve.
2 tsps of rice syrup or barley malt may be added at the last 5 minutes of cooking.
