HOW TO MAKE BLACK BEAN SAUCE

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.

SPICY BLACK BEAN TACOS

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, heat the oil and add the garlic. Fry until golden, then add the beans. Pour in the cider vinegar, honey and spices along with 1 tsp or more of salt, to taste. Cook until warmed through, crushing gently with the back of your wooden spoon, then set aside.
• The best way to make the guacamole is with a large stone pestle and mortar, but you can use a medium bowl and a flat-ended rolling pin instead. Crush the garlic, coriander and chilli into a rough paste. Scoop in the avocado with a little salt and crush roughly - you want it chunky, not smooth. Squeeze in the lime juice and set aside.
• Mix the salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Heat a griddle pan or steamer and quickly griddle the tortillas or steam a stack of them to warm up. Reheat the bean mixture.
• To serve, put 1-2 heaped tbsp of beans on a tortilla. Top with a big spoonful of guacamole and some salsa, hot sauce and a dollop of soured cream or yogurt.
