ROASTED SOY NUTS
A great high fiber, high protein snack. I can munch on these all day! They are also great on a salad to give some extra crunch. Preparation time does not include the soaking of the beans.

Steps:
- Soak beans in water 8-12 hours. Be sure to use enough water, as the beans will expand to about 3 cups.
- Rinse the beans and blot lightly with paper towel. They don't need to be dry, just not dripping wet with water.
- Sprinkle olive oil over the beans and toss lightly to coat. I do this right in the colander that I used to drain the beans.
- Sprinkle salt and cajun spice over the beans and continue to toss until coated.
- Spread the beans on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake at 350F, stirring after 15 minutes. Stir beans and return to oven, baking and stirring every 5 minutes until soybeans are golden brown and crunchy. The amount of time to attain crunchy soy nuts will depend on the moisture of the soaked beans. It usually takes mine a total of 25-45 minutes. That's a big range, I know, but every batch is different is all I can say! Watch them carefully toward the end to make sure that they don't burn. Conversely, you definitely don't want to under-roast them either, or they will have a chewy consistency. They should be nicely browned, like in my picture.
- Cool the beans and enjoy!

PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE
Steps:
- In a blender blend together the peanut butter, the garlic, the lime juice, the soy sauce, the sugar, the cayenne, the water, and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth and transfer the sauce to a bowl. The sauce may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled.
Tips:
- Choose the right peanuts. Look for raw, unsalted peanuts that are fresh and free of blemishes. You can use either shelled or unshelled peanuts, but shelled peanuts will cook more evenly.
- Soak the peanuts overnight. This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the peanuts overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 15 minutes and then draining them.
- Use a variety of seasonings. Soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar are the basic seasonings for soy-braised peanuts, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste. Some popular additions include ginger, garlic, star anise, and bay leaves.
- Cook the peanuts until they are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of peanuts you are using and how long you soaked them. Shelled peanuts will cook more quickly than unshelled peanuts, and soaked peanuts will cook more quickly than unsoaked peanuts. In general, you should cook the peanuts for at least 30 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve the peanuts warm or at room temperature. Soy-braised peanuts can be served as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. They are also a great addition to salads, stir-fries, and noodle dishes.
Conclusion:
Soy-braised peanuts are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a tasty snack or side dish, give soy-braised peanuts a try!
