1 Cup Aduki Beans
5-inch piece Kombu
Four (4) Cups Water
2 Bay Leaves
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt

Preparation:

2. Place Kombu and Aduki Beans in a pot.
3. Cover with water at 2 inches above the level of the beans.
4. Bring water to boil.
5. Add Bay Leaves.

Notes:

• To check for softness, take a couple of Beans out from your pot and squeeze them between your thumb and pointer finger. If Beans press easily, they are finished.
• If they feel hard in the middle, they need more time to cook.
