Wash the soybeans and soak overnight in cold water. Drain, cover with a damp cloth, and rinse and drain 2–3 times a day whenever they look dry. When the beans sprout slightly or swell up, they are ready — some people just soak overnight and stir-fry them right away. Cook them like sliced potatoes: add a little water and let it cook off, and they will smell wonderful.
