| Ground Bean Sauce (left) and Bean Sauce (right) |
There are various forms of Bean Sauce on the shelves of Asian
supermarkets, including Bean Sauce, Black Bean Garlic Sauce, Ground Bean Sauce,
Spicy Black Bean Sauce and Chili Bean Sauce. This condiment is used to
add spice and some thickness to Asian dishes. It is quite salty, so you
don’t need very much—1-2 teaspoons should be enough for a dish that serves 4. Consistency
varies, from smooth to chunky.
Bean Sauce ingredients usually include sugar, salt, wheat flour
and fermented soy beans. Store jars of Bean Sauce in the
refrigerator. They will last for at least a year.
