Instructions

  1. Snap each pod in half and open it with your fingers to release the beans.
  2. Make a tiny incision on the side of each bean opposite the black line, using the heel of a knife.
  3. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a pan (a frying pan is fine). Add 2 tsp salt and, if you like, 1 tbsp sake or white wine.
  4. Cook the beans for 2 minutes.
  5. Drain well and let them cool. The skins should slip off easily when you pinch the bean between your thumb and forefinger.
