Soybeans

[JustGeorge]

I have a few packs of dried soybeans in the back of the cupboard. Thought I'd get them out and use them over the last few days.

Overall, they're pretty good. They have a nutty taste I like. The downside was the cook time. I have never seen beans take that long to cook.

Have you ever eaten soybeans? What did you put them in? How did you like them?

I've only had them once (got them by mistake instead of chick peas ;-) and as i remember only cooked them for a few minutes but soaked them overnight before cooking a Moroccan stew

I don't remember eating soybeans but I do like hummus.

I thought hummus was garbanzo/chickpea?

Yes, I know they make it with chickpeas,also..some garlic and whatever..

Yes, I know they make it with chickpeas,also

I just never knew they did it with soybeans? I've only ever had it the chickpea way. I'll eat/give just about anything a shot.

Dried beans are always tough for me. Mostly because I have to remember to rinse and soak them overnight prior to cooking lol. I've got bags of kidney, black and northern beans I keep forgetting to use.

 

[Stonetree]

Probably, I was eating the chickpea recipe...

 

[JustGeorge]

I guess you could grind down just about any bean... it wouldn't be hummus, but it might be good anyways...

Those soybeans seem to have a bit of a crunch.

The older they get the tougher that they get. If I buy a fresh bag of black beans I just wash them and then start cooking. Done in an hour or two. My Costa Rican sister in law taught me how to make them Use lots of onions and garlic.

I remember eating roast soybeans years and years ago. They were good and really cheap.

These days though I try to avoid everything with soy because I don't want to finance the Monsanto corporation (who owns 90% of the soybean market) and their shady business practices:

How Monsanto Bankrupted American Farmers - Robyn O'Brien

U.S. farm households had a median farm income in 2018 of negative $1,548. Farmers have literally mortgaged their lives to feed America, and now no one wants to take over the farm. What has to happen to save our farmers.

I remember eating dried soybeans as a kid. Yum!

Monsanto's awful.

I've only had edamame (young soybeans while they're still tender and green). Other than that, I've only had soy in the form of soy milk, soy sauce, and pre-made tofu.

Perhaps you could make some tofu or dry roast them? You could probably find a ton of recipes on youtube.

You're just the person I've been looking for. I recently bought some frozen edamame beans when the supermarket was out of frozen broad beans. But I found they taste of absolutely nothing. I've been slowly working them off, by blending with peas and some broad beans I was able to find subsequently.

Do you know of any way to use these that adds anything positive to a dish?

I never had soybeans but I'm not ruling it out that I'd never eat them. Just never think about getting them from the local grocery store.

Mostly I simply add sea salt and eat them as a snack. Sometimes I'll also add some cracked black pepper and a dash of cayenne.

But yes, they're mild in flavor (obviously, i.e., tofu) so you can add them to pretty much anything. If you like heat, you could mix them in a spicy chili garlic sauce or marinate them; maybe add them to a teriyaki dish.

I don't think I've ever seen them in a typical grocery store. The ones I bought were from an Asian market, and the crunchy snack variety I had as a kid came from a health market.
