Drain and rinse the soaked soybeans.

Steam soybeans for 30-45 minutes until tender.

Cool the soybeans to about 40°C (104°F).

Sprinkle Bacillus subtilis over the cooled soybeans.

Mix well to ensure even distribution of the bacteria.

Transfer the soybeans to a container and cover loosely with a lid.

Ferment at 40°C (104°F) for 24 hours in a warm environment.

Check for a sticky texture and strong aroma after fermentation.

Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to develop flavor.

Serve with soy sauce, mustard, and toppings like green onions.
