1. Clean soya bean thoroughly, then soak for 3 to 4 hours.
2. Drain water completely when beans have slightly expanded.
3. Heat oil in a deep fryer (or a large wok) till it is nearly boiling.
4. Add in soya bean and fry on high heat till all beans float to the surface.
5. Scoop beans out and leave it in a strainer to drain excessive oil, before serving it in a bowl.
6. Sprinkle in salt and peppr, and mix slightly.
