Steam Cooking
Legumes
Soak legumes for at least 10 hours in cold water before cooking. Soaking makes the pulses more digestible and shortens the cooking time.
Exception: Lentils do not need to be soaked before cooking.
Soaked legumes must be covered with liquid during cooking. With unsoaked legumes, a specific ratio of legumes to water is required.
