SZECHUAN BLACK BEAN PASTE FOR GRILLED FISH I have tried here to deconstruct Coastal Seafoods wonderful Szechuan style black bean sauce. This is a pretty good quantity- enough for several grilled fishies- I freeze what i don’t use. 7 oz package fermented black beans (moist) from Asian markets 2 oz hoison sauce 3 oz rice vinegar 2 oz soy sauce 4 oz white wine 3 oz dry sherry 4 oz honey 3 oz chili paste 2 oz sesame oil 2 heads fresh garlic minced 1/3 pound ginger root minced Saute the ginger and garlic in the sesame oil until tender . Simmer on low with a lid for 5 minutes. Add the rest and simmer on low for another 10 minutes. Excellent as a marinade for salmon and shrimp. Freezes well. I scrape off some of the black beans before serving- for a more attractive presentation. back to homehttp://www.happyinthekitchen.com/Site_2MarciasKitchenHome/Site2/Marcias_Kitchen_Home.html
