1 cup soy beans
2 cups water
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup raw cane sugar
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp sesame oil
1. soak soybeans in the water for 8 hours.
2. Almost all the water will be gone, a little less than a cup of water will remain (you can use the soaking water or rinse and add about a half cup of clean water before next step.)
3. Boil soybeans for five minutes covered on high heat (or until they boil over)
4. Boil on high heat for an additional five minutes half covered until only about 1/4 cup of water remains visible. Check to see that soy beans are the right consistency (chewy but not too soft)
5. add the soy sauce, sugar, garlic and oil and put over low heat for 30 minutes with a lid covering the pot.
6. uncover and mix with a laddle/wooden spoon (whatever) while the liquid evaporates to reduce your sauce to a sticky texture.
7. Soy beans are ready when very little liquid remains and it is sticky and shiny covering the beans.

Steps
Sequence
Step
1
1. soak soybeans for 8 hours in lukewarm purified (tap if it is safe where you are) water.
2. optional- rinse the excess soaking water off of the soybeans and add the same amount of clear unused water back to the soybeans and put in a pot. (Rinsing and changing the water decreases oligosaccharides which cause gas).
3. boil soybeans for 5 minutes covered on high heat or until they boil over.
4. uncover and boil for another 5 minutes or until 80% of the liquid is gone (leave a little more if you don''t want it to be too salty).
5. add your soy sauce, sugar, garlic and oil (can be any kind of vegetable oil I just like sesame best) and cover pot, heat on low heat for 30 minutes.
6. uncover the pot and boil on high heat until sauce reduces to a sticky consistency and soybeans are covered in a sticky, shiny coating.
