Steps:
- Soak the beans in enough water to cover them by 3 inches in a covered container in the refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours.
- Drain the beans, put them in a pot, and add the dashi or water and soy sauce. Set over medium-high heat and bring the liquid to a simmer. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook for 1 hour, stirring the beans on a regular basis. The level of liquid will reduce as the beans cook; once it gets to the point where it does not completely cover the beans, you will need to stir more often to ensure that the beans cook evenly. After an hour, the beans should be tender but still retain a little bite. If they are still hard, add more dashi or water and cook for 15 to 20 minutes longer, until the beans are tender with a little bite.
- Add the sugar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds to the pot and mix well. (It's important to wait to add the sugar until the beans are tender, as adding it in the beginning will cause the beans to harden when refrigerated.) Let the beans cool slightly, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until chilled. (The beans will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.)
- Serve the beans cold with hot rice.
SUPER EASY KOREAN STYLE BLACK BEANS
Adapted from the cookbook 'The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker". I don't know if cilantro is eaten in Korea but it tasted really good with the beans! We made simple veggie bowls: first some baby spinach, second a scoop of short grain brown rice then a ladle of the beans and finally the toppings.

Steps:
- 1. Soak the black beans in water overnight or use the quick soak method. Drain the beans.
- 2. Place the drained beans in a crock pot and then fill the crock pot with water until 2/3 full.
- 3. Stir in most of the soy sauce (reserving approximately 2 tablespoons for garnish), sugar or honey, garlic clove(s) and 1/2 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil.
- 4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-10 hours and cook beans until tender. Usually what I do is start the crock pot on HIGH for about 3 hours then reduce to LOW for another 5-6 hours.
- 5. Transfer the cooked beans to a serving bowl. Pour some of the cooking liquid into the beans (about 1/4 cup or so.)
- 6. To serve: Taste and add a little more toasted sesame oil-up to 2 tablespoons (but be careful because toasted sesame oil has a very pronounced flavor and its flavor can quickly overpower!) Garnish with the green onions, fresh cilantro, sesame seeds and gochujang sauce.
