First of all, we learn the 2 key ingredients, Soybean and black bean. In most Asian cooking, we used herbs, beans and spices to prepare delicious and nutritious foods.
Soybeans
According to Chinese medicine theory, Soybean prevents cardiovascular diseases, improves digestion, helps to reduce stomach bloating, moisturizing dry and rough skin, reduces risk of cancer and increases breast milk production.
In Asia, Soy plays Important role in Asian diets, the cooking of using soybean can be very creative, for example : cook soup, make dessert, bake bread, create tofu, boil soy drink, and through the fermentation process, we make soy sauce, miso paste etc.
Black beans
As recorded in many Chinese medicine books, black beans nourish the kidney vitality, slow down the aging process, improve vision, reduce limbs' water retention, reduce wrinkles, prevent the formation of dark spots, make your skin glow and smooth.
In Chinese society, black bean soup with pork shinbone is for rapid recovery for muscles and bones injury, of course we have many ways to eat black bean, such as making porridge, pastry etc. In the west, you might seldom heard of "Douchi", this is a type of fermented black bean. It is very effective in treating cold and fever, headache and annoying heat around the chest.

If you can't get all the Chinese herbs in your countries, just keep it simple by using soybean and black beans. The easiest way is to create a sweet dessert soup by soaking both beans (30g soy beans and 30g black beans per person) in clean water for 30 minutes, add 600ml bring to boil, turn to low heat and cook for 40 minutes, add some sugar or honey and prepare to serve, eat the bean and drink the soup.
Since we are using 2 beans only, why not invest in a soy milk maker? It will save you a lot of time, just press 1 or 2 buttons and after 30 mins, you can enjoy a hot soy drink in a very relaxing way.
But remember not to throw away the bean dregs, you can use it for cooking soup stock or bone broth. I personally use the bean dregs to scrub and exfoliate my face and whole body during bath, you will notice your skin become silky smooth and well moisturized.
