SOY RECIPIES RECIPES

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!

Steps:

• Stir brown sugar, soy sauce, white sugar, water, white wine vinegar, rice vinegar, and ground ginger together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until reduced in volume by half, about 30 minutes.
• Let glaze cool to thicken, at least 1 hour.
