Boil Chinese white beans slowly for 6 hours. Strain off the beans and expose the bean soup in a big pot placed under the hot sun. The surface of the liquid turns brown and has a top layer. Remove this layer of brown. A little later take off the other layers, and so on until there is no brown layer. Add salt to this, and boil.

This is called See Yout, meaning sauce. It can be bought, ready prepared, in any Chinese grocery store.
