Savory Soybeans
Soybeans are an excellent source of protein. They
have the highest quality protein of any plant based food. They are
inexpensive, and very tasty if cooked and seasoned properly. Here is a
recipe for soybeans I developed after visiting China and eating them
for breakfast every morning. They are a good replacement for eggs or
meat in the diet.
Ingredients
1 cup Soy beans, dry
1 can Diced tomatoes (15 oz. can)
1/2 can Tomato sauce (8 oz can)
1 cup Water
1 Onion shopped
1/2 Green pepper chopped
1/2 stock Celery chopped including leaves
1 T Garlic, chopped or minced
2 T Brown sugar
2 T Food yeast
1.5 tsp Liquid aminos (or soy sauce)
1/2 tsp Summer savory (herb)
1/4 tsp Red pepper, dried
1/2 tsp Lite salt
1/2 lemon, squeezed |
|
Directions
Soak the soybeans in 3 cups of water overnight. Drain any remaining
water. Put soybeans in a pressure cooker (soybeans don't cook well on
the stove top, they don't get very soft). Add 1 cup of water and the
ingredients listed above. Pressure cook for 25-30 minutes. After
pressure goes down, add the juice of 1/2 freshly squeezed lemon. Stir
in. Beans are ready to eat! Serving size is 1/2 cup cooked beans.
They can be kept in the refrigerator for several
days and heated in a microwave for an instant protein source at any
meal. I enjoy eating them for breakfast in place of an egg, at lunch
with a sandwich, or at supper as an entree. They can also be added to
vegetable soups for added protein.
