CHINESE BLACK BEAN SAUCE



Chinese Black Bean Sauce image

Fermented black beans mixed with traditional ingredients creates one of the most popular stir-fry sauces on a Chinese food menu. This pungent and earthy sauce is easy to make and will last in the refrigerator up to a month. It can also be frozen in small portions to easily be used for a quick stir-fry. Because of the saltiness of the beans, there is no need to add salt in the recipes where you use this sauce.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Chinese

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces dried fermented black beans
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
4 peppers Thai chiles, chopped
1 medium shallot, minced
1 (2 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari
2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine
1 teaspoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground Sichuan pepper
½ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Rinse black beans thoroughly and dry. Remove about 1/4 cup and set aside. Roughly chop the rest of the beans.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add chiles, shallot, ginger, and garlic. Fry until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Do not let the ingredients burn. Reduce the heat if necessary. The objective is to slow cook the ingredients. Add all the beans; both chopped and whole. Simmer, stirring often, until the beans are soft, about 2 minutes. Add tamari, rice wine, brown sugar, ground Sichuan pepper, and five spice. Simmer until thickened, stirring often. Remove from heat; let cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix in sesame oil and cover. As the sauce rests, the beans will settle and the oil will float, creating a barrier which will protect it from mold. The sauce is ready to use or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

PENNE PASTA WITH BLACK BEANS



Penne Pasta With Black Beans image

This is from America's Test Kitchen's book all about Pasta. I used Pepper Jack cheese instead of the Monterrey Jack and it was yummy. The meal gets a little heat from the Chipotle pepper so if you're not a fan of heat, use the cheese called for. Chipotle peppers are sold in a can in the Mexican aisle of most grocery stores. You only need one pepper/chile for this recipe so line a cookie sheet with waxed paper and spread out the rest of the peppers on it and freeze them. When they're frozen, put them in a ziploc bag and you'll have a chipotle pepper when you need it.
