Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 , Since you have been on the SCD for a month, I don't have any suggestions for you. However, once you have been on the diet a while and can tolerate black beans, you could try making your own soy sauce. It is a long process that has several stages, but I think it is really worth it. You also get black bean " miso " paste out of it too which is beneficial to your health. Black bean soy sauce and miso Soak black beans for 24 hours. Boil until tender but not mush. Remove water. Mash beans up or use processor and pulse so most of it is crushed but still chunky. Make squares about the size of your hand and about 2-3 inces thick. Air dry in warm and well circulating room on racks(near clean vents). This process takes a long time (sometimes several weeks) and smells up your house. In the summer, you can hang them outside once they maintain their shape. Once blocks are completely dried through, dust off and place in brine made of filtered water and salt. Lots of salt and lots of water so blocks are floating on top. This liquid will become your soy sauce. Too little salt does not allow the blocks to float and can cause molding. I keep mine outside and open the lid when the weather is nice so it can breath. I put mesh around the opening to prevent anything from flying in. I also put a piece of charcoal in the brine. It takes away a lot of the smell and impurities. Leave this for approx. 6 months. You can taste the brine periodically to see if you like the taste. You can always stop earlier. Once you are ready, remove moist blocks and puree in food processor. Put brine through sieve/cloth and boil liquid and let cool. Place in glass jars. Take bean paste and place in jars and either put garlic paste or thick coating of salt over the top to prevent molding. This has to age at least a few months. Open the lid and let natural sun hit it and form dry crust. Keep doing this when ever you can. This intensifies the flavor and keeps it from molding. When ready to eat, remove top layer and use as base for soup. I know it's a lot but if you ever try it, I know you won't be disappointed. I have been making my own soy sauce and bean paste for years and just started the black bean one a year ago bc of scd. Of course it took a year to make and since my son has been scd compliant for 1.5 months, can now enjoy it. He was startled bc he didn't think he could have it. When I said he could, he was really really happy. Best of luck. --- W mail-lists@...> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > Thanks to everyone who posts here.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 , I have read this email a few times in amazement that you go through this process. I know don't have the time to do this, but thanks for the recipe. If you ever go into business selling this (hint hint) you certainly have a customer ;-) Kim wrote: > , > Since you have been on the SCD for a month, I don't > have any suggestions for you.
