Basic Preparation of Soybean

Wash and clean the soybeans, place them in a bowl and cover with cold water

If cooking the soybeans in a pressure cooker, add 1/4 cup of oil

The soybeans will increase threefold in volume when soaked, so ensure the bowl is large enough and contains plenty of water

To cook the soybeans, place them in a large pot with the soaking liquid and add more water if necessary

Add salt, bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 hours or until tender

When cooking soybeans in a pressure cooker, combine soybeans, oil, soaking liquid, and salt in the pot, adding enough water to cover them

Don't exceed half the capacity of the pot

Close the lid, set the valve, and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions for 30 minutes

After cooking, let it cool naturally, removing the valve once all pressure has escaped

6-7 cups of cooked soybeans

Note: If desired, blend or puree the soybeans using a blender or food processor, adding a little at a time
