Braised Black Beans

Directions

1. Soy the black beans overnight in water.

2. Boil the soaked beans for 1 hour.

3. Drain the water.

4. Add all the remaining ingredients and stir on medium heat for 5 minutes.

5. If the beans are still too hot, you can add additional water and then boil until the water has evaporated.

Personal Connection

Similar to the braised quail eggs, this was a dish I saw when I was watching kdramas. I really like this dish because of how gorgeous the beans look after becoming caramelized by the sugar and soy sauce. They look like beads of jewelery.
