SWEET AND SOUR BEANS
250 g sugar beans
2⁄3 cup brown or white sugar
1⁄3 cup brown or white vinegar
2 -3 tablespoons Maizena
salt and pepper to taste (I used freshly black pepper as well as a pinch of white pepper)
Soak the beans overnight in about 4 cups of water.
Cook the beans till soft.
Keep the beans covered with liquid all the time while cooking.
Rinse the beans frequently while cooking.
Mix the maizena with the vinegar and add to the beans together with sugar.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Cook a few minutes more to thicken the sauce.
Serve hot or cold, but mine taste better cold!
