HAPPY COOKING!
Simple wholesome recipe, I’d do it with my old school pressure cooker 😀
KY, I really need to consider to get a pressure cooker.
Soak the black beans and peanuts? Were there peanuts in the soup? I’ve never boiled soup with black beans before but then I see you have to stir-fry the beans first. Aiyah, that discourages me from using them…haha! 😀 Will the soup taste different if you just put them in without frying?
Kris, aiya paiseh, I copied and pasted the steps from my previous recipe, hence the mistake, amended. 😛
Yes, you may boil this soup with black beans without frying them first.
U don’t have to fry them if u don’t want to. I normally don’t as well n d soup tastes as good. 👍 Maybe dry frying them will make it more fragrant. But it’s a highly nutritious soup especially when boiled with pork ribs. ☺️
