Рецепт Kongjaban (Korean Sweet Black Beans)
Today we made a healthy side dish to counter-balance all the meat we have been eating. It's called kongjaban (Korean sweet black beans), that has been pre-soaked for a lengthy time (to aid in digestion and reduce flatulence :) and cooked in some soy sauce. It's a sweet and nutty banchan side dish, and they are filled with a good dose of protein for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike. Kongjaban is a common Korean side dish that doesn't take too much fuss in prepping or cooking. Also, you can make a bigger batch that will not only save for long periods in the refrigerator, but provide that extra side dish that Koreans need to eat a complete meal.
