Chinese Black Bean Sauce, Moosewood Style image

Placing this here for safekeeping! I have had a wonderful Szechuan Eggplant at a Chinese restaurant in town that I just love, but unfortunately, they stopped making it! They told me they used black bean sauce when making it, but alas, I could not find any locally. So I will be trying this to recreate the dish. I have changed it slightly. A few tablespoons of this sauce paired with meats, seafood, fresh vegetables, or rice, pasta, etc. will create a delicious meal in minutes!

This sauce is so easy to make, and it's so much better than anything you can buy in a jar. I'll never go back to store-bought black bean sauce again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover black beans. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food. But I'm so glad I did! The sauce is just the right amount of spicy, and it has a really nice flavor.
