Just the other day, Gnome had mentioned that we seemed to be  eating beans everyday.  Like a good Chinese woman, I blinked once and then placidly ignored his comment.  I am sure that all of you out there will understand that once in a while, especially during wild intense times of fermentation madness, one can get rather tired and have little energy left to cook fanciful foods daily.  Hence the reason why I haven’t been posting up recipes lately.

However, Gnome added insult to injury and did a big whopper of a bungle.  During Hatcho Miso preparation, he over-cooked a tonne of black beans which could not be used for miso making.  He left me with 40 cups (22 lbs or 10 kgs) of mushy black beans and urged me to “make them go away, please.”

And so with a teeny little ounce of creativity which I squeezed out by sheer willpower, I managed to create a recipe with the excess black beans.  They are bean burgers made with home-made coconut flour and rice flour; they are especially spicy with whole black peppers and chilli peppers.  I have called them Bean Bungle Burgers.

When we sat down to eat last night, Gnome rather sheepishly said, “the beans are good.”  I smiled and gave him a Chinese woman approving nod.
