2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
¼ cup + 1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup + 1/8 cup white miso paste
2 tbsp yellow mustard powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp paprika
2 tsp fresh grated or minced ginger
3/4 cup loose light brown sugar, add at very end of cooking
¼ cup ketchup

- Drain soaking liquid
- Add 4 cups water and 4 cups chicken stock to beans in pot
- Pre-heat oven to 350’
- Bring beans on stove top to a boil, reduce heat to low

- Turn off heat – cover and place pot in the oven
- Cook 30 minutes, stir
- Cook 30 more minutes, stir and remove from oven
- Return to stove top, cook over medium high heat, with lid slightly ajar – this will help cook down the liquid in the pot
