Dried beans, a unique ingredient, are simple to make, but rich in flavor and nutrition. The key to making dried beans delicious is cooking skills and combinations.
First of all, we select fresh beans and remove the parts that have insect eyes or damage to ensure the freshness and integrity of the beans. Next, wash the beans, put them in a pot and add water to cook.
