Korean Kidney Beans Food

KONG JABAN (KOREAN SWEET BLACK BEANS)

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.

EASY KIDNEY BEAN CURRY

Steps:

• Pulse the ginger and garlic together in a food processor until a rough paste. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until the onion is golden brown (add splashes of water as needed if ingredients begin to stick to the bottom of the pan), about 8 minutes.
• Add the curry powder and pumpkin pie spice and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cabbage and carrot and stir until just coated.
• Add the beans, tomatoes, 2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrot is tender and the curry sauce has reduced by about half and clings nicely to the beans and vegetables, about 8 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt. Serve with rice and dollops of yogurt.
