Want to add more flavor to your Beef Stir Fry? This Black Bean Sauce Recipe is 10X better than one you can buy. You will not believe the results!

Makes approx. 1 1/2 Cups

Ingredients

100 g (31⁄2 oz) Fermented salted black beans (Asian store)

200 ml (7 fl oz ) peanut or vegetable oil

10 cloves garlic, peeled

1-2 long dried red chillies, seeded

1 x 4 cm (11⁄2 in) knob ginger, peeled

1 tablespoon Rice vinegar

2tbs of castor sugar

Directions

In a hot pan heat some oil, add the sliced garlic and fry until the garlic turns a light golden brown (20 seconds). Take it out of the pan, then fry the chilli for 10 seconds and remove it as well from the oil. Turn the heat off and let the oil cool.
Rinse the black beans to wash excess salt off and drain through a strainer. Then place beans, fried garlic ginger and chilli into a food processor or mortar and pestle and grind to a smooth consistency to make the Black Bean sauce.
Next add the cooled down oil, sugar and rice vinegar and blend again (approx. 3 minutes) until it is a smooth, shiny, thick Black Bean sauce.

See how easy that is and you will have this sauce on top of your list when doing a stir fry. It keeps for ages in the fridge. You have to try it out you will not regret it.
