💡 专业技巧
- ✓Soaking the beans overnight is crucial for reducing cooking time and improving digestibility.
- ✓If you are short on time, you can use canned beans, but the texture and flavor will not be as rich.
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can add a smoked fish or a piece of meat (like beef or chicken) to the stew while it simmers.
