2 cups beans

Instructions

Soak the beans.

Combine the beans and lukewarm water in a bowl.
Let it soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour (or overnight).
Then, rub the beans in between your palms to peel off the skin.

Peel the skin.

Add more water to let the skin float and collect the peeled skin.
Pour out the water using a sieve to segregate the floating skin.
Do this several times until you get all of the skin out.
The peeled beans can be used in making:
Moin Moin - Bean Pudding
Akara - Bean Cake/Bean Fritters

Notes

Always pre-soak the beans to loosen up the skin.
Use a fine-mesh sieve to filter the contents.
Peeled beans are best stored in the freezer for up to several months.
