Good Afternoon Everyone, Hope everyone is have a great week so far and getting ready for the New Year to come.  Today, there is not much going on here in Japan so far.  As for me I think what to make for the New Years, for the family.  Hhhmm  In your Country what do you have during New Years eve and New Years Day?

Today Japanese Cooking Recipe is called Sweetened Black Soybeans or 黒豆/おせち料理 in Japanese.  We usually have this during New Year Day as we make New Years Lunch Box to celebrate the up coming year.  I will try to give more details on this in a couple days.

Lets see what we need to make our Sweetened Black Soybeans Recipe.

Direction:

1. Rinse the black soybeans in cold water, and soak in 1 1/2 cup water over night.

2. Place the black beans and the water in which they were soaked in a pot, and bring to the boil over a medium heat while skimming off foam. Cover with a drop-lid and simmer over a sightly stronger low heat for 40-50 min, make sure that the simmering liquid always cover the soybeans, and add the water every time the liquid is reduced.

3. When the soybeans are tender, remove from the heat, in another pot, mix the sugar and 1cup water, and boil briefly to make syrup. Let the drained soybeans rest in the syrup over night to allow them to come to room temperature.

4. Transfer everything to a pot, and place over a low heat, add the soy sauce, and simmer for about 15min before turning off the heat.
