Black Bean Sauce

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator after opening. Check for spoilage before use.

Rinse the fermented black beans before using them if you want a milder flavor and less saltiness.

Add a teaspoon or two to noodle dishes or marinades for an instant flavor boost.

Combine with soy sauce and ginger for a classic stir-fry base.

Using too much, as it can overpower other flavors due to its intense saltiness.

Not tasting and adjusting seasoning, especially when using with soy sauce which also contains salt.
