Although it can be found in ready-to-use commercial jars, my recipe might convince you to switch to the tastier and healthier homemade version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This dark-colored, vegan sauce is made by frying fermented black beans (<em>find more about this ingredient in later sections<\/em>) with garlic and ginger in oil that has been infused with scallions and onions. It is then seasoned with soy sauce, rice wine, five-spice powder and sesame oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has an aromatic, savory, earthy, and umami-packed taste. This complex flavor profile makes it a great pantry staple for a variety of delicious Chinese dishes, such as stir-fries, fried rice\/noodles, steamed or braised dishes, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>The shop-bought black bean sauce often has a semi-smooth texture and a very salty taste, which I found overpowering. My homemade version is much chunkier, adding a more enjoyable texture to dishes. Additionally, it has a more sophisticated, balanced taste that boosts the aroma, not just saltiness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/black-bean-sauce-two-versions-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"two jars of black bean sauce: one original and one spicy.\" class=\"wp-image-27333\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-group-lightbulb has-feast-branding-color-background-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"top-tips\">Top Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we dive into the details of the recipe, let me share a few tips to bear in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This recipe offers two versions: <strong>original and spicy<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fermented black beans, the key element of the sauce, can not be replaced by other ingredients<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>But you&rsquo;re free to adjust other ingredients to suit your taste<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leave the sauce to infuse for 24 hours before consuming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"ingredients-and-substitutes\"><strong>Ingredients and substitutes&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are what you need to make black bean sauce:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Ingrediants-for-black-bean-sauce-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients for making black bean sauce.\" class=\"wp-image-27345\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fermented black beans<\/strong> (<em>read more on this ingredient in the next section<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Neutral cooking oil<\/strong>.

They are fermented with salt. Ginger and\/or spices may also be used in the fermentation process. Aromatic, earthy, salty, and slightly bitter and sweet, they have a complex flavor that cannot be replicated by any other ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are a unique ingredient in Chinese cuisine and are not commonly found in mainstream supermarkets outside of China. However, they are available in most <strong>Chinese grocery stores <\/strong>and on popular <strong>online shopping platforms<\/strong> like Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ecf4f2\">On the package, fermented black beans are often given different names in English, such as <em><strong>Salted Black Beans<\/strong><\/em> or <em><strong>Preserved Beans with Ginger<\/strong><\/em>, as shown in the image above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most popular variety is the dried version (<em>shown in the image above<\/em>), which is sometimes accompanied by dried ginger pieces. It&rsquo;s the type that I use in all dishes that call for fermented black beans. I do not recommend the less common wet version, which comes in a salty and sweet brine, because I find the beans to be less flavorful but saltier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"cooking-procedure\"><strong>Cooking procedure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you&rsquo;ve gathered all the ingredients, it only takes three simple steps to make this versatile sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Prepare the beans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prepare-fermented-black-beans.jpg\" alt=\"4 steps of preparing fermented black beans.\" class=\"wp-image-27340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prepare-fermented-black-beans.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prepare-fermented-black-beans-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prepare-fermented-black-beans-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prepare-fermented-black-beans-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prepare-fermented-black-beans-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prepare-fermented-black-beans-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prepare-fermented-black-beans-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prepare-fermented-black-beans-360x360.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned earlier, some brands of fermented black beans contain dried ginger for flavoring.
