Easy-to-Make Delicious Sweet & Savory Braised Soybeans
Making braised soybeans from scratch by soaking and boiling beans can be quite a hassle at home. However, using pre-packaged braised soybeans makes it significantly easier to create a delicious dish. This recipe guides you through making tender, flavorful braised soybeans using store-bought beans, perfectly balanced with a sweet and savory glaze. They make an excellent side dish for any meal!
Ingredients
- 1 pack pre-cooked braising soybeans (approx. 200-250g)
- 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide (or corn syrup)
- 2-3 Tbsp soy sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, I’ll introduce a delicious recipe for braised soybeans. They’re a real appetite enhancer!
Step 2
Prepare 1 pack of pre-cooked braising soybeans in a shallow pot or a wide frying pan. It’s a good idea to lightly rinse the beans from the package under running water and drain them.
Step 3
Add 2 cups (approx. 400ml) of water to the pan with the beans. Simmer over low heat until the beans soften and most of the water has evaporated, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the beans from sticking to the bottom.
Step 4
Once the water has reduced, add 2 Tbsp of oligosaccharide and 2-3 Tbsp of soy sauce. You can adjust the amount of soy sauce based on the quantity of beans and your preference. Continue to simmer over medium-low heat until the glaze is glossy and coats the beans, about 5-7 more minutes.
Step 5
As the braised soybeans are nearing completion and have a nice sheen, stir in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil just before turning off the heat to add a fragrant aroma. A quick mix will enhance the overall flavor.
Step 6
Finally, generously sprinkle 2 Tbsp of sesame seeds on top for garnish. The nutty flavor of the sesame seeds adds another layer of deliciousness to the braised soybeans.
Step 7
And just like that, your simple yet delicious braised soybeans are ready! They pair wonderfully with a bowl of hot rice for a satisfying meal.
Step 8
Enjoy your sweet and savory braised soybeans!
