Spiced Up Soya Beans Recipes

SPICY BAKED SOY BEAN SNACK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bring the water to a boil on the stove.
• Add the frozen soy beans to the water, reduce the heat to medium low, cover, and simmer for 4 minutes.
• Drain the water and leave the soy beans in the pot.
• Add the olive oil, chipotle pepper, coriander, chili flakes, and dijon mustard. Mix well.
• Grease a baking sheet and spread the soy beans evenly on the surface.
• Bake for approx 1 hour.

SLOW COOKER SOY BEANS

Steps:

• Soak beans in water overnight (4 1/2 cups water).
• Place beans in cooker in soaking water. Cook on high for 3 hours.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the cooker.
• Cook on low for 12-14 hours or until tender.

ROASTED SOY NUTS

Steps:

• Soak beans in water 8-12 hours. Be sure to use enough water, as the beans will expand to about 3 cups.
• Rinse the beans and blot lightly with paper towel. They don't need to be dry, just not dripping wet with water.
• Sprinkle olive oil over the beans and toss lightly to coat. I do this right in the colander that I used to drain the beans.
• Sprinkle salt and cajun spice over the beans and continue to toss until coated.
• Spread the beans on a baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake at 350F, stirring after 15 minutes. Stir beans and return to oven, baking and stirring every 5 minutes until soybeans are golden brown and crunchy. The amount of time to attain crunchy soy nuts will depend on the moisture of the soaked beans. It usually takes mine a total of 25-45 minutes. That's a big range, I know, but every batch is different is all I can say! Watch them carefully toward the end to make sure that they don't burn. Conversely, you definitely don't want to under-roast them either, or they will have a chewy consistency. They should be nicely browned, like in my picture.
• Cool the beans and enjoy!

KOREAN SPICED KIDNEY BEANS

SZECHUAN EDAMAME (SOY BEANS)

Steps:

• Place edamame pods in a microwave-safe bowl; add 1/4 cup water. Cover and microwave on high until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain.
• Place sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat; toast until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Simmer until soy sauce reduces and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Add edamame; toss until coated, 1 to 2 minutes.
