Recipe - Soy Sauce Beans

1 pound Soybeans
8 tablespoon Soy sauce (yes, 8
tablespoons that's 1/2
cup)
2 tablespoon Sugar
5 cup Water

I found this recipe for Baked Soybeans in an old Chinese cookbook, _How to
Cook and Eat in Chinese_ by Buwei Yang Chao, and I thought some of you
might like it. It's kind of salty, but I'm sure you can fiddle with the
ingredients, and/or just eat a little bit of it at one time. It keeps
beautifully.

Soak beans in lukewarm water overnight and pour off water. Then boil the
beans with the sauce, sugar, and 5 cups of (cold) water over brisk fire.
When it boils, turn down to simmering fire and boil 3 hours, turning over a
little every half hour until all liquid is absorbed. Add half cup hot water
if it dries before end of 3 hours.

Transfer beans to baking tray and bake at 250 degree F low fire, turning
over every half hour. Bake one hour if you plan to eat them soon; 1 1/2
hours if you plan to keep them longer in an airtight jar.
