The EASIEST Black Bean Sauce in a jar - Chinese Sauce Basics

[@FloLum]

With this sauce ready to go, dinner will be a cinch! Happy Sunday! 💕

[@TwasNeverThus2]

Hi there-I couldn't figure out what kind of wine you mentioned. Can you spell it out here? Thanks

[@meljames4228]

@@TwasNeverThus2 shaoxing wine

[@quantumkong8118]

Is there any other alternative for the shaoxing wine? And could I puree the final product for a smoother texture? Just a thought of course...

[@jessica_tee]

Thought I'd note this down for myself if anyone else needs it! :) Shallots - x3 Fermented Black Beans - 1/2 cup Garlic - 1 head Ginger - Thumb size piece Vegetable Oil - 1/4 Cup Dried Chillies (If you want it spicy) Shaoxing Wine - 1/4 Cup Soy Sauce - 1/4 Cup Sugar - 2 Tablespoons Salt - 1 Teaspoon (My own note! :D ) - Store in an airtight container for up to a month, use 2-3 Tablespoons of sauce on anything you cook. This recipe looks so good, I went searching for it after I just ate some Tofu in blackbean sauce leftovers for lunch and thought that I must be able to cook this myself! :) Thanks!

I just made one batch with this recipe. The result blew my mind! I increased the amount of all of the ingredients by 50%. I used red wine, and 30% lacto fermented black beans and 70% ancient Chinese style fermented black beans. It tastes awesome! Thanks a lot for this very delicious recipe.

[@lisamilner9309]

I used vegan Mexican black beans, because of soy allergies in my home, and I used some coconut amino sauce for the soy sauce, a little smokey flavoring sauce and some non alcoholic wine and the other ingredients and my Korean church loved it. They really were confused because they know we are allergic to soy and they saw me eat some with them. I told them, they were surprised, never thought about using any other type of bean for the sauce.

[@lynnna-tv]

I needed this! After trying out your black bean chicken recipe, my husband has been requesting it every week for the past few months 😂 So glad I can use this as a faster way to put dinner together. Thank you.

[@juliannehausler9954]

Interesting.

[@debrabryda2827]

Most delicious black bean sauce. I didn't have fermented black beans, so used 1/2 canned black beans. I added spicy chili crisp and a tablespoon of Hoisin sauce. Not the same ingredients, but in a pinch, it still did the job. It is delicious! I will be using it on ground pork stir fry for dinner tonight, and then marinating pork western ribs tomorrow. So glad I came across this recipe.

[@fabiankusche2565]

sounds very good :D if have a chance of getting your hands on fermented beans though, give it a try. they have a very delicious deep flavour, and add a richness thats hard to describe. they sell them in all asian stores, you can find them also easy online. look for yang jiang preserved beans. they are actually not black beans, but soy beans that turn black in the fermantation process

[@debrabryda2827]

@@fabiankusche2565 I have since found the fermented black beans and made the recipe. So good.

[@ParalegalCareerMastermind]

Made this sauce last night, rice noodles and shrimp! Oh my goodness- this sauce is incredible. Thank you for this recipe Flo. Delicious. My grandson enjoyed it soooo much!

[@danielpincus221]

Terrific recipe. I just made it. Really delicious. I added some reconstituted dried orange peel, a lá Chris and Stephanie of Chinese Food Demystified. A lovely citrus note.

[@Bob_Engdahl]

Looks so delicious! I love steamed pork spareribs in black bean sauce. I will definitely make this. Thank you for sharing.

I’m addicted to your hainanese chicken recipe and the ginger scallion sauce

No, mayo is. 😌👍🏻

[@carlosgasser2373]

Wow, follow your recipe as instructed, never going to buy black bean sauce in a store again. So good!

[@mike97525]

I'm liking that chopper thingy👍 Thanks for the vid guys 👌

[@FloLum]

It’s one of my favourite tools! Especially love that it’s cordless!

[@hermithag]

My mil taught me to rinse the preserved black beans first out of the package, then chop or mash for cooking. It really helps it not be SO SALTY.

[@FloLum]

Yes I also mentioned to rinse the black beans.

[@michellelaclair]

I dilute the beans in water overnight, drain and then soak in red wine and cranberry juice for a few hours. ==== delightful

[@kumbawithey7405]

Sorry, what wine do u recommend.

[@evelynfurlow32]

Thank you Flo Lum Black Bean Sauce is great with homemade Focaccia bread. I you used very little slate so I can put it on my different salads too.

[@MrPcoz]

I'm gonna use this recipe for rib tips. Marinating rib tips in black bean sauce. Then searing ribs tips on grill and a slight smoking. Then I will cool down ribs 24hrs and the next day sauté with spring onions and black bean sauce with a touch of oyster sauce over some jasmine rice. Well worth the time in preparation.

[@sillynola6182]

Love this. Are you just soaking the beans in water? How to you ferment the dry ones? Thanks.

[@arabiantxn]

Definitely making this. This is the first time I ate back bean sauce with ramen at a Korean ramen shop and it was absolutely amazing. Initially u was a bit not sure how the black bean sauce would comfortable say I can eat this by the spoon now.

[@michaelwhitlow1413]

Love this recipe. A little hack for you...Put your head of garlic in a jar and shake shake shake. You will immediately have pure cloves of garlic in seconds.

[@sophiacuffy3057]

I made this with noodles it tasted so good

[@vivrbn]

I like Dude's suggestion of putting some of the black bean sauce mixed with rice topped by a fried egg. Before he said that, I was thinking of a cross-culture thing - spread some of that sauce over toasted French, Italian or sourdough bread. The thought is making me hungry and I already had dinner. Thanks for sharing!

[@ninatrentham8908]

Happy Springtime, Flo and Dude Looking forward to whatever you have planned for Sunday!

[@kirkjohnson6638]

This looks delicious. For those of us who only need this from time to time, can you freeze this sauce and keep it longer?

[@ninatrentham8908]

Your Sunday shows are something I really look forward to. They are relaxing and calming. Thank you.

[@nutaboutfood]

Thank you so much for this recipe. Made it today and used it to stir fry some prawn meat. My husband said it reminded him of dishes he had in Malaysia long time ago. More recipe like this please. Sending love from New Zealand.

[@GeminieCricket]

I love black beans !👌🏻

[@anacletoelogada8761]

I like the stainless scraper 😊

[@i_curious]

Is this the same as korean black bean paste? Used for jjajjangmyeon?

[@Bevieevans8]

That looks lovely. Thank you for sharing. May I ask, could you put some msg in the sauce?

[@rodmckenzie9089]

Of course you have to taste it. Good Cooks always taste their ingredients. Thanks for this. I'm going to start making my own too 😋

[@glendurant911]

Wow i,am so glad to see this video, I will copy your black bean sauce because as you said the one in the jar from Lee Kum is very expensive were i live $6.50 per small jar

Damn it guys, I love your videos. Awesome recipes, great suggestions, amazing warmth. Thank you!

[@JackGibbs-vd1yr]

Hi, if someone is allergic to ginger, what do you suggest to replace that with? Or if it's ok not to replace it please?

[@macbrewster2392]

Awesome but you missed a dash of toasted sesame oil. Top notch stuff!!! Also I was taught to soak/rinse the beans first to wash away all the salt used to preserve the beans and to get rid of all the "other stuff" in there that is not beans (there is a lot).

[@kaneezezahrah786]

Hi, what can we use as a substitute for the wine if we can't use them in our cooking, please? Thanks

[@Mxnssa]

What can you substitute the wine with? (none alcoholic)

Can you use sake?

Where do you find xiaxiang wine in the Asian Markets? I've tried looking in the wines, and with the vinegars, but haven't been successful, yet.

[@cgoldnsilver]

Sometimes it’s spelled Shao Shing wine. All Asian markets should have it by the cooking wine, soy, oyster sauces.

[@beckycordell7038]

@@cgoldnsilver thank you!

[@kitcatmeowpurr745]

Thank you so much for this recipe. There is not a single major brand name REDUCED sodium Chinese Black Bean Sauce in any market. I understand that UNREFRIGERATED prepared products use MORE salt to preserve the shelf life. However, Trader Joe's is carrying more and more UNREFRIGERATED prepared foods with reduced sodium. There are also other brands in Asian and non Asian markets that are carrying more reduced sodium products. Thanks once again, you explained things so well also !

[@tomokoichi]

As a kid, I used to lick a teaspoon full of miso. As a grown up, I will lick a teaspoon of this lovely sauce. Can't wait to make it!

[@kimberlyjennings8753]

Looks good

[@Nischalrokaya]

sorry for stupid question but can I use black soy beans rather than black beans?

[@bluaaahhhh]

I'm pretty sure these are black soy beans used in the recipe, and if you are asking if you can use regular black beans, it is a big no for this. They soy ones are fermented and has a really specific taste Hope it helps even after 7 months

[@christineb8148]

Do you know if chunjang would work as a sub for the black beans in this sauce?

[@AyamNasiHainan]

Chunjang is much milder. You can hardly taste the fermented black soybeans in chunjang.

[@jeffreyrafferty4888]

Dude, Fol rocks !

[@iramdrama3766]

How long I can preserve this??

[@jameshue55]

From my experience, it can last more than a year or longer even without refrigeration because salty items preserved in oil are highly perish-resistant.
