Slightly Wrinkly Simmered Black Beans
We prefer simmered black beans to have a little bite instead of being too soft, so in our house our black beans are a little wrinkly on the surface. They are still cooked all the way through.
In Step 2, if the beans ae exposed to air, they will be too wrinkly when they are done.
If you add the sugar in one go in Step 3 the beans will stiffen up and become hard.
Let the beans peek out of the water just briefly to get a little wrinkly. Recipe by Yukirinrin

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the black soy beans well, and soak in 3 times its volume of water overnight. Start cooking the beans in the soaking water over medium heat. When it comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low and simmer while skimming off the scum.
- 2
Cut out a piece of kitchen parchment paper to fit the pot, and cut a small circle in the middle. Put this paper "lid" right on top of the pot contents as a drop lid (otoshibuta), and simmer over low heat for about 4 hours. Add water several times as the beans cook, making sure they are always covered and not exposed to air.
- 3
Make sure the beans are cooked all the way through, then simmer for another hour, adding the sugar in 4 batches during that time. When adding the 2nd batch of sugar, remove the paper lid and simmer the beans so that they peek out a little bit out of the water.
- 4
Add the soy sauce and finish simmering. Taste and add salt if needed.

Simmered Soybeans Simmered Soybeans
I learned this delicious cooked soybean recipe from my mother. Since I wanted this to be healthy, I didn't sauté the ingredients, but if you want a richer flavor, you should try sautéing everything in sesame oil first. In my house, we almost always sauté everything in sesame oil when making stews or kinpira. For Lotus Root Kinpira.After it has finished cooking, let it sit for a night to really let the flavors meld. It will taste better. If making the dashi stock is too much trouble, you can use water and instant dashi granules. You don't have to blanch the konnyaku to get rid of the astringent taste. Adjust the amount of soy sauce and sugar to taste. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

Plump and Juicy 'Kuromame' Simmered Black Soy Beans Plump and Juicy 'Kuromame' Simmered Black Soy Beans
My father-in-law grows kuromame, so I make this all year round, not only for New Years.After a lot of trial and error, I can say that this method is foolproof. I've made them not that sweet so that they can be enjoyed guilt-free.I heard if you simmer the beans with a rusty nail or a piece of iron, the color turns beautifully black.Simmer with the lid on so the beans aren't exposed to the air. After simmering, keep the beans immersed in the cooking liquid until they have cooled down. You can avoid any boil overs if you fill a big pot about 60% of the way.If you heat the beans through once a week, you can keep them for several weeks in the refrigerator. When you re-heat the beans some scum will rise to the top, so skim that off. Recipe by oyukidesu -

Simmered Black Soybeans for Osechi Simmered Black Soybeans for Osechi
These kuromame are not too sweet, and even work as a side dish. I used to soak the beans overnight in water, but realized they'd absorb the flavor of the seasonings better if soaked in the seasonings instead. Through trial and error, I reduced the simmer time and eliminated the process of adding water to simplify this recipe.The beans will take on a glossy sheen if you add rusty nails, but this is optional (I didn't in the top photo).The cooking time depends on the beans; allow between 1 to 3 hours. (I cooked these beans for 2 hours in Le Creuset cookware, removing the lid for the last 15 minutes to cook off the liquid). Recipe by Umemikkii -
Lightly Flavored Sweet & Savory Simmered Soy Beans Lightly Flavored Sweet & Savory Simmered Soy Beans
The simmered beans I used to have were pretty salty. I wanted my own kind that wouldn't so high in sodium -- that's how this recipe was born.I like that these are slightly less sweet than store-bought simmered beans. I also like that they have less soy sauce than the store-bought quality. I like the reduced simmering liquid too. So basically I've made simmered beans just the way I like them. For an easy to make amount. Recipe by Mamemame -
