To prepare, you can rinse the beans under cool water. They can be steamed, boiled, or sautéed. For steaming, place them in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Boiling involves submerging them in water for a similar duration. Sautéing with a little oil and other seasonings allows for deeper flavor development. They are also suitable for adding directly to simmering dishes like soups or stews.
