Notes:

Black beans are available from most health food stores, gourmet grocers or Asian supermarkets. Canned beans are the perfect stand by fast food if you’re time poor. Rinse canned black beans after opening. Other beans can be used in place of black beans. Try back eyed peas, red kidney beans or adzuki beans.
