Answers:
Here's what you do:
Soaking dry soybeans shortens the cooking time and improves flavor. In a large pot, add 6 cups of water for each pound of dry beans. Soak at room temperature for six to eight hours, or overnight. Drain, rinse and cook the beans. (For a quick soak, heat the beansand water to boiling, cook for five minutes, then remove from heat, cover and let stand for one hour.)
Roasted Soybean snack:
6 cups cooked, whole soybeans
1 large onion, quartered
2 stalks celery, cut into large chunks
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt and spices (to taste)
Directions:
After soaking your beans, cook them in fresh water with the onion and celery. Drain and discard the onion and celery.
Coat a cookie sheet with the olive oil, then toss the beans in the olive oil until well-coated.
Slow-roast the beans in a 200 degree F oven for 4-8 hours. Remove from the oven when crunchy, and toss in salt and spices (curry powder is great!)
Store in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 14 days. Great snack food!
