Chinese Tip for Cooking Tender Beans

Place the two cups of beans in a bowl and cover them with water.

Add two lemon slices to the water with the beans and mix lightly.

Let the beans soak for a minimum of 24 hours, changing the water every 6 hours.

After the soaking time, discard the lemon slices.

Rinse the beans thoroughly under running water.

Transfer the rinsed beans to a pressure cooker.

Add enough water for cooking and include the bay leaves.

Cook the beans under pressure until they are tender and ready to eat.
