For 1 serving
Roast the soy nuts until crispy and fragrant
Place the roasted soy nuts in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat. Stir the beans continuously for 15 minutes to ensure even heat distribution, which helps achieve a consistent crunch and prevents the outer skin from scorching while warming the core.
TIPKeep the heat low to prevent the natural oils in the soy from turning bitter.
