  • Make sure to use microwave-safe containers when you cook the dish.
  • Always check for doneness before removing it from heat.
  • The process of soaking helps the beans to soften. Thus they are easy to peel and break.
  • If preferred, then add in the egg for a better texture. Blend it again to bind the ingredients together.
