Black bean sauce is a common ingredient in Chinese cuisine, particularly Sichuan cuisine. It is a thick black sauce made with douchi, salted fermented soy beans, along with plenty of garlic and it's just packed with flavour! There are plenty of brands of black bean paste that you can buy at the store but it's also easy to make your own! Just head down to a local Chinese grocery store and pick up some fermented black beans, they look like small shriveled up black beans coated with white dust (salt), and all you need to do is soak them in
