Most recipes instruct you to add the rice to the beans, but I prefer the beans cooked separately and served over the rice. Soak dry black-eyed peas for at least 8 hours in enough water to cover. Drain and rinse. Place the soaked beans in a large saucepan with remaining ingredients except soy sauce. Bring to a boil, let simmer for 3 minutes, then turn the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-60 minutes, or until the beans are tender as you like them. If you wish to pressure cook, cook at 15 lbs. pressure for 5-8 minutes. Add soy sauce. Remove the bay leaf, and adjust salt to taste. Mash the beans slightly, and serve over steamed rice.
