Fermented black beans
CHINESE fermented black beans, also named douchi in Chinese, are made from soybeans that have been dried and fermented with salt. The beans look like small raisins and taste salty, somewhat bitter and sweet. They can be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to a year.
Said to date back to 200 BC, fermented black beans are the world’s oldest known soyfood.
Fermented black beans are mainly used as a seasoning and are very popular in various Chinese dishes, whether they are stir-fried, steamed, or braised. Some of the most favorite ones are mapo tofu and twice-cooked pork from Sichuan, and steamed pork ribs and steamed seafood from Canton such as braised mud carp with fermented black beans.
Shanghai Daily has picked a special Chinese dish that incorporates fermented black beans to give succulent pork ribs a fabulous taste.
