Steps:
- Soak 1 C (227 g) of dried fermented black beans in water for 10 minutes. Open a package of dried fermented black beans and pour 1 cup (227 g) of them into a bowl. Add enough water to submerge the beans and set them aside for 10 minutes to soak. Soaking the beans makes them easier to chop and it rinses off some of the beans' salt. You can buy dried fermented black beans at your neighborhood Asian market or online. Fermenting the beans gives them their unique flavor that's full of umami. Fermented black beans are also saltier than standard dried black beans.
- Drain the beans and roughly chop them on a cutting board. Set a fine-mesh strainer or colander into the sink and pour the soaked beans into it. Then, put the beans onto a cutting board and chop them until they're slightly chunky. If you'd like a smoother sauce, keep chopping until the beans are finely chopped. Set the beans aside. To save a little time, you can put the beans into a food processor along with 1/4 of an onion and 8 to 10 cloves of peeled garlic. Then, pulse the ingredients until they're roughly chopped.
- Infuse oil with dried chili peppers over medium heat. Set a heavy saucepan on the stove and pour in 1⁄3 cup (79 ml) of vegetable oil. Add 4 to 6 roughly chopped dried chili peppers and turn the burner to medium. Once the oil shimmers, turn the burner down to medium-low and heat the chilies until they darken. Then, carefully scoop out the chilies with a slotted spoon and throw them away. Use Korean or Mexican dried chili peppers to give the sauce mild flavor or cook Chinese or Thai chili peppers if you'd like the sauce to be spicy. For really spicy black bean sauce, add 2 teaspoons (6 g) of whole Sichuan peppercorns along with the dried chilies.
- Mince 1/4 of an onion and add it to the skillet along with the beans. Cut a 1/4 of an onion into fine pieces and put it into the hot oil in the saucepan. Then, add the drained black beans and stir the mixture. If you chopped the beans with the onion and garlic in a food processor, just add all of them to the oil at this point.
- Cook the black bean sauce over medium heat. Turn the burner up to medium and stir the beans in the aromatic oil constantly. Cook the beans until they're fragrant and they start to sizzle. The oil may splatter a little, so you may want to wear oven mitts while you stir the beans.
- Add wine, soy sauce, sugar, and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes. Stir in 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of Shaoxing wine, 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of soy or tamari sauce, and 1/4 cup (50 g) of granulated or brown sugar. Then, cook the gently bubbling sauce over medium-low heat until the onion softens. Stir the sauce constantly to prevent it from burning. If you can't find Shaoxing wine, use the same amount of dry sherry or Japanese sake. You could even substitute chicken broth, but the black bean sauce won't keep as long in the fridge. For a slight citrus flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of orange zest to the sauce.
- Stir in garlic and ginger, and cook the sauce until it's fragrant. Add 8 to 10 cloves of minced garlic to the saucepan along with 1 inch (2.5 cm) of minced fresh ginger. Keep stirring the sauce and cook it over medium heat so the garlic and ginger soften. If you don't like the flavor of ginger or garlic, feel free to leave them out of the sauce.
- Transfer the sauce to a storage container to cool before you use it. Turn off the burner and spoon the black bean sauce into a glass storage container or bowl. Leave it to cool completely before you cook with the sauce or store it for later. Put a lid or plastic wrap over the container and store the sauce in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.

Steps:
- Rinse fermented black beans with tap water, drain, and coarsely chop them. I like to leave some bigger pieces of the beans, to give the sauce more texture.
- (Optional) You can use a food processor to mince all the ingredients. Add black beans, onion, and garlic into a food processor. Blend until both ingredients are minced, but not a fine paste.
- Heat oil and dried chili peppers in a saucepan over medium heat until warm. Turn to medium low heat. Cook until the chili peppers turn dark, but not black. Stir occasionally. Scoop out the chili peppers and discard them.
- Add the black beans and onion. Cook and stir, until the sauce looks a bit dry. (The beans will absorb oil at first, but release the oil once they're cooked.)
- Add Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, and sugar. Simmer and stir until the onion turns tender. It takes about 10 minutes or so. The sauce can be easily burned, so make sure to keep the heat low and stir the sauce constantly to ensure even cooking.
- Add garlic and ginger (if you're using these ingredients). Continue to cook and stir the sauce until the onion turns very tender. You should see oil floating on top of the sauce.
- Transfer the sauce to a large bowl to cool off completely.
- Store the sauce in an airtight jar in the fridge for 2 weeks to a month.
CHINESE BLACK BEAN SAUCE
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.

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.

SOS PWA NWA (BLACK-BEAN SAUCE)
This velvety purée of black beans and coconut milk is the perfect accompaniment to Mayi Moulen, a Haitian recipe for garlicky polenta-like porridge. Slices of nutty avocado offer a gentle contrast in texture and another element of richness. It was adapted from the Haitian cooking instructor Cindy Similien-Johnson, who remembers it from her grandmother's house.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic and scallions until golden, about 8 minutes. Add the beans and 5 cups of water. Bring the water and beans to a boil over medium-high heat, covered, then boil until the beans are soft, about 1 1/2 hours. (This may take longer depending on your beans.) Add water occasionally to keep the beans submerged, if necessary; keep an eye on them, as you may need to add a fair amount of water, depending on your beans and how tight your pot lid is.
- In a blender, purée the beans and any water left in the pot with an additional 1¾ cups water until very smooth. Force the purée through a fine strainer.
- Return the bean purée to the pot over medium-low heat. Stir in the coconut milk, butter, parsley, bouillon cube, salt to taste and black pepper. Cook the bean purée, stirring occasionally, until it's the consistency of a rich gravy. (Adjust with water if necessary.)

- Check the clams by prodding any open clams gently with a knife. If they don't close, discard them. Trim, mash and finely chop the garlic clove. Peel and julienne a generous pinch of fresh ginger root.
