Natco Soya Beans - 500g is a pack of dried whole soybeans for cooking into bean curries, soups and vegetable stews. The pale, rounded beans develop a substantial bite and a mild, slightly nutty flavour when thoroughly cooked. They pair with ginger, garlic, tomato and warming spices, or with a coconut-based sauce. These are whole dried soya beans, not textured soya chunks, soya mince, green edamame or a ready-to-eat ingredient.
Whole soybeans give dishes distinct bean texture rather than the porous, sauce-soaking structure of processed soya chunks. Their mild flavour works with both a thick masala and a looser vegetable broth. Leave fully cooked beans intact in a stew, or mash a portion into the sauce for a thicker finish. The 500g bag can be measured out for each recipe, with the remaining dry beans kept tightly sealed.
Sort through the beans and rinse thoroughly before preparation. Follow the current pack instructions or a recipe specifically intended for dried whole soybeans for soaking, draining and thorough cooking. Cook in sufficient fresh water until fully tender, checking the centres and maintaining enough liquid throughout. Soaking alone does not make dried soybeans ready to eat. Do not use preparation times intended for textured soya chunks or mince, and do not substitute these dry beans directly into recipes written for cooked beans. If pressure cooking, follow the appliance's liquid requirements and capacity guidance. Do not eat the beans raw or undercooked.
