*Cooking method for soybeans:

Add 1 pound dry soybeans to 1-1/2 to 2 quarts boiling water; boil 5 minutes.

Cover pot, remove from heat and let stand 1 hour.

Drain; add 1-1/2 quarts water. Do not add salt at this point or it will delay the softening of the beans.

Bring beans and water to boil; reduce heat and simmer, with lid tilted on pot, about 3 hours or until beans are tender.
