Kombu for 25 hours.

minutes). While cooking, you may need to add cold water a few times
but do not stir beans! )

When beans are tender add chopped hard winter squash making sure that

Using a wooden spoon, mix the squash into the beans and arame, add
shoyu/tamari.

(If squash is not available substitute onions, carrots or parsnips.)
