Ingredients

• 1 cup dried soybeans
• 4 cups water
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 stalks scallions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the dried soybeans under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.

Step 2

In a large pot, combine the soybeans and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer the soybeans for 60-70 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and rice vinegar to create the sauce.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the cooked soybeans and sauté for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned.

Step 6

Pour the prepared sauce over the soybeans and stir to coat evenly. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Add a pinch of red chili flakes for some heat, if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm as a main dish or a side dish alongside rice or vegetables.
