Instructions

1. Pick out and discard any bad beans. Rinse the beans thoroughly, then soak them in water for 2 hours or overnight.
2. Cover the beans with more water as needed. Boil on high heat until tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes, checking now and then and adding water as needed.
3. During the last 30 minutes of boiling, add 2 teaspoons of salt and keep cooking.
4. Let the beans rest for about 1 to 2 hours, then drain, discard the cooking water and rinse the beans.
5. Heat the oil in a large pot on high heat for about 3 minutes. Add the chopped onion and sauté about 2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes until they shrink, stick to the bottom of the pot and no longer taste sour.
7. Stir in the garlic powder and ginger powder, then add 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer.
8. Stir in the stock cubes or bouillon powder and the salt, then add the boiled beans. Simmer together for 5 to 10 minutes.
9. Turn off the heat and serve.
