Cooking dried yellow beans is simple, but soaking them first can help reduce cooking time. Here’s a basic method:

1. Rinse the beans thoroughly under cold water.
2. Soak them in water for 6–8 hours or overnight (optional for split mung beans).
3. Drain and add fresh water to cover the beans by about 2 inches.
4. Simmer gently until tender, which can take 30–90 minutes depending on the variety.

Always check the package for specific instructions, as cooking times may vary.
