For anyone somewhat confused about the beans, I believe the black beans used in this recipe are actually black soybeans, and are just labeled “black beans” in Asian supermarkets. I think some of the confusion might stem from the fact that one of the Chinese words for soybean literally translates to “yellow bean.”
I was confused for a bit too - the characters on the bag literally translate to "organic black bean," but I also know those last two characters to refer to black soybeans. As someone with a soy allergy, I was bummed.
I like the idea of using the shot glass on top to prevent contamination of the fermenting product, I may try this when making sauerkraut or fermented daikon radishes.
This right here is the main reason I'm subscribed to your channel (aside from your great personality of course)! I love that u show us how to make different chinese ingredients at home! Especially fermented stuff like beans, tofu, etc. Thank you so much! You don't know how much this means to me. ❤
Wow Mandy, this is the first video of yours I've seen. I like your presentation. You are thorough and informative. I'm in the process of moving right now, but I'll be making these soon this winter. Thank you. I am getting into expanding my diet to include fermented foods, thanks again
You are a life saver. Once again. Quite a few recipes call for fermented soy beans. Like some easy noodle recipes that I could never recreate because it's always saying "you need to add the fermented beans because they add the special taste". In Germany it's hard to get many ingredients though. The only fermented beans I ever found here were in Laoganma 😂. But there is plenty of natural black beans to buy so that's what I will do. I can upgrade my cooking and make my Chinese man even happier. 😊 Thank you so much!!!!
I’m excited to make these. Mandy never disappoints. I have made many MANY of her recipes. Never had one not turn out delicious, including ribs with black bean sauce and stir fry beef with black beans. ❤
So.I boiles the beans wiyh salt and have let the beans fermwnt for 2weeks now (I saw the video for this recipe on YT but can't find the video now) today is the day I'll be frying and adding spice mizes...just wanna confirm that is it safe to eat those 2 weeks fermented beans?
i love chinese food especially stir fried ones. thank you mandy for these informative videos. you are so knowledgeable about a lot of things. keep up the good work! ❤
Hi Mandy. I love so much watching ur videos. U r very detailed with the steps and with explanations. U also suggest replacements, where to buy etc etc. U r a great, humbled person. With this, I wish u happy holidays. Looking forward for more videos from u. How abt making a cookbook? Also how about a video all the things u used for cooking?
Hi!!! This was very interesting. There's alot of steps to this recipe but it's worth it. I'm a fan of Black Bean sauce. I like the 2 bowls you used at the beginning...Great Video!!!...🦋
Black bean garlic sauce quickly became a family favorite here too. We started buying the fermented beans by the pound and just making big batches in the fridge.
During lock down oyr favorite restaurants either were too far for take out or closed so i started watching and researching some of our favorite recipes. One of the first recipes i tried had black beans in it i bought a bag as they are very inexpensive and fell in love with the flavor. Now i want to try and make my own. 😅 I have regular soybeans and can easily find black soybeans at the market. It was black bean garlic sauce. I put it over pork/eggplant and carrots. We often use it just over carrots as a side dish. Sometimes about the rich earthy black bean sauce and swert cooked carrots. Its a good combo
Wow, amazing process. Hi Mandy, may I suggest to use alcohol instead of water for washing the beans? I think alcohol is bettet because it helps the beans to dry out faster during dehydration afterwards. After drying, the beans will be mixed with alcohol anyway, so I think it is ok to wash the beans using alcohol in the previous step.
Thank you so much from Sweden ❤ I cannot find black soybeans in ny country. I have no idea why. Byt now I will try making it with yellow soy beans butik I find black ones. A great project for winter. 👍
I love when you read my mind Mandy! 😁 I just pulled my bag of black soybeans out of the cupboard with the plan to figure out how to do this very thing with them. I do have one question. I have Koji but is it the right kind. Aspergillus oryzae is the one I have. Should it be a different strain?
Awesome. Thank you so much. I will at some point try to find the mucor. It would be really interesting to compare the two final products. @@SoupedUpRecipes
I used your link and found your store online. I am treating myself to a set of the dragon chopsticks and the 9pc chopsticks holder set and the grater tool for potatoes and jelly etc. I'm so excited you are my favorite channel in youtube. Ps I made mungbean mooncakes via your recipe they came out perfectly. Thank you for everything ❤️
I love learning about how different ingredients are fermented, so this was very interesting to me. I was really fascinated by the gadgets/tools you showed on this video like the container you used to allow the koji to grow and the glass weight used to weigh it down as well as your strainer...any links to these items?
LOL! The container is not special at all but something like this work the same - amzn.to/47PBGYm Or you can search "Fridge Storage Containers with drainage" and see what you can find =) As for the glass weight, it is a mason jar weight. Here is the link - amzn.to/3tf3039 However, you don't really need to buy anything special, just use a small plate and it will do the job.
@@SoupedUpRecipes I love kitchen gadgets/tools, though. :) I already have the glass weights, but they are super small compared to the one you used in the video. The one you used looked bigger than the typical size made for mason jars found on Amazon (I have those sizes already).
I want you to know this video has inspired me to try and find an heirloom black bean native to the Americas that can hold its structure under the conditions of this fermentation process. I'll let you know what I find. The plants are young, but growing fast.
I wanted to learn how to make Guilin sauce and I found a recipe that says to use fermented black beans. Would you know if douchi is the type to use to make Guilin sauce?
Thank you for the recipe! I love black beans in my chili crisp, but sourcing them from Taobao to my country is kind of inconvenient (2x400g pack of typical yellow boxes will cost ~15$ to ship and will take 40 days via sea) so it's good to have alternative option.
I'm curious about the mapo tofu recipe with Douchi. I'm used to seeing mapo tofu recipes with pixian doubanjiang (郫縣豆瓣醬), the sichuan broad-bean based ferment. While I like doubanjiang, it's also SO salty and it would be fun to make mapo tofu with my own ferment.
Mandy, I'm at the second dehydration step, and I don't have a food dryer or ceiling fan, so set up a portable fan to blow air lightly over the beans in our dehumidified basement. It's working well, but I'm not sure how dry they should be. Perhaps a good way to quantify the dryness would be the weight/volume, since the same volume of beans, dryer beans will be lighter. Right now I have 500ml of beans weighing 280g. Is that about right?
I didn't weigh the beans so I don't know (I should have). However, the way how I check if it is dry properly is to grab a hanful of beans and hold firmly then release your hand. If the beans don't stick to your hand, they are good to go.
The beans were malted, cultured and in a way double fermented. For something that would have preserved perfectly fine on its own this was indeed a labour of flavour
I am from India, I can only find the bead like black bean which is black soyabean and I have bought them. In video you state black bean and soyabean separately (start of the video between 1:50 - 1:55). So are they different - black bean and black soyabean?
Oh cool! I just got a bunch of free cans of black turtle beans and found another way to use them. Should I rinse them and put them in a dehydrator then follow the rest of the instructions to ferment them?
What a fascinating video, thank you! I went to your website for the mucor powder but you don't ship to my country yet. I'm sure it's more difficult but I've read of people using miso or tempeh for the inoculation, is that really possible? Thanks!
I'm very interested in your thoughts on the Fermented Black Beans with the Liquid and more plump (Taiwan Style). I've been able to get those at several locations but like olives they are so good I must know how to make it (Brand I Use is Fu Chi)
Does Chinese cuisine also have fermented bean pastes? I've been thinking about doing a soy free fermented bean paste at home, but I'm not sure if bean pastes are lacto-fermented the same way as Korean Kimchi or German Sauerkraut.
Usually when it is made at home you make a large amount and store them dry with salt. They last a long time so you really only need to make them once a year.
Thank you for sharing the fermented black beans from scratch video. Your video is easy to follow and I love how you gave important tips on what to look for when fermenting black beans and the secret spice mixture used on this. Yes, I am definitely going to use this on a lot of other applications especially making my own Lao Ma Gai or the famous brand Garlic crisp chili oil. I don't have to buy it anymore. I love making key ingredients from scratch, and it will tastes even better according to what I like. Thank you so much!
Ahh, you are so awesome! Love your videos and i am using some kitchenware too. Would you give a ling to your fermentation box too, please! Thank you so much!
Hi, I don't have a link for the fermentation box that I use but something like this works the same - amzn.to/47PBGYm Or you can search "Fridge Storage Containers with drainage" and see what you can find =)
So, if you can find the ‘correct’ black beans at your store, odds are they will have the already fermented version as well……. In fact, I’d be surprised if the fermented version isn’t actually easier to find. Also, the Amazon link in the description is for regular (although very overpriced) black beans, not black soybeans. Still, a very cool video-thank you for sharing the method!
Just to be clear, both black soybean and regular black beans will work out with a similar taste. However, the black soybeans tend to stay in complete shape, and the regular black beans will likely split open. With that bean said, yes, you can use regular black beans if you don't have access to black soybeans.
When I try to print the recipe the link gets stuck on "preparing pdf" and never prints anything. And, when I click on the other link in the description to try to see if I can buy black bean koji, the link takes me to a cookware webpage that doesn't even list black bean koji for sale. This is frustrating. The web links are broken. Is anyone else experiencing these same problems?
I just check the links and my website and didn't find any issues. Could you try turning off your ad blocker is you are using it? Or open an incognito tab and try again.
I know I use all three of these products and black beans taste richer to me than the miso or the deonjang (korean fermented bean paste) it's darker for sure. Its like you took soybeans and soaked in the saltiness strongest soy sauce you have. But its also a tad more earthy compared to the lighter miso I use. It holds up to strong flavors. My favorite dish I make is pork/eggplant/carrots/onion in black bean garlic sauce. My grandson loves black bean garlic sauce on cooked carrots too.
Towards the beginning of the video, you mention two types of beans. However, it seems that one of them is regular black beans, and the other is actually black soybeans (which is what you used in the video). If it's not black soybeans, would you happen to know the scientific name or variety of the beans you used?
I think it is black soybeans. However, both will work out with a similar taste. But the black soybeans tend to stay in complete shape, and the regular black beans will likely split open.
(Glycine max (L.) Merr.) black soybean is the Latin name but if you look it up it may just show you a generic soybean info site. I found some at a bulk food shop. They are not back turtle beans though. They have to say soybean. @@SoupedUpRecipes
I suppose that it says something negative about me, but as much as I love Mindy’s videos, when I see something that takes this much time/effort, I say screw it, and order delivery from McDonalds.
@freemanmt Yes. (You can ferment almost anything and almost everything has been fermented.) Your question is easy to look up the answer to and it is the foundation of Doubanjiang.
I don't see the point of washing off all that delicious fermented Koji on the black beans. Skip this step so that you don't have to dehydrate the beans afterward. Just proceed to the next step.
Copper makes the joints stretchy and causes dysplasia like right after giving born to a human Zinc corrects that Within minutes yet collidal zinc is best or chemical grade zinc sulphate will do it too For prolactin zinc acetate if not zinc sulphate Cognitive dissonance is the correct word for people doctor Osborne neuropsychology shows all the OFC wants is what feels nice and the OFC takes the hippocampal-formation to base what's nice feeling on memory based biases including people sensorial induction and habits/gravitations Also the insular and amygdala to take the fight or flight response into the OFC with the memory based bias These land on the ventral striatum from temporal and frontal structures (inc. OFC/cingulate) conjugately This is a VTA NAc phonation pathwa to talk crap biasly And cognitive dissonance occurs here while the OFC projects to the rIFG to supress contrary interpretations - causing cognitve dissonance What's more the OFC check memory and emotion centres to concur the feeling of what it hears - so if it's - not what they do, not what authority told them , not eha peers tell them and not what people in groups they believe told them -which all of this is processed by the pSTS posterior superior temporal sulcus, which is also use by the OFC to decide how to feel about both visual and auditory inputs (and information in social and novel contexts) So if you give people good news about their bad habits they'll listen if you reflect what's in people neural networks at a moment to moment basis they will also be replenished and ever interested Yet given the truth which is a firm unmoving thing - if tha doesn't converge than he OFC recruits memory, association, focus, compatibility, speech, multimodal social processing and finally cognitve dissonance amoung other heuristics to fight and take flight from the source of what just doesn't converge bias douches😂
For anyone somewhat confused about the beans, I believe the black beans used in this recipe are actually black soybeans, and are just labeled “black beans” in Asian supermarkets. I think some of the confusion might stem from the fact that one of the Chinese words for soybean literally translates to “yellow bean.”
I think you’re right. A friend uses black soybeans to make tempeh and they hold their shape very well when cooked.
There is also a kind of lentils that are black like this but they are not round like the beans shown in the video.
you are 100% correct, I was just going to post this very important info.
Not convinced as she says her technique ALSO WORKS WITH soybeans....
I was confused for a bit too - the characters on the bag literally translate to "organic black bean," but I also know those last two characters to refer to black soybeans. As someone with a soy allergy, I was bummed.
I like the idea of using the shot glass on top to prevent contamination of the fermenting product, I may try this when making sauerkraut or fermented daikon radishes.
When you hear the fermentation process takes 60 days and start to wonder how many videos Mandy has planned in advance
I feel like she had made this and thought she should show us after
This right here is the main reason I'm subscribed to your channel (aside from your great personality of course)!

both will work and both are called douchi in Chinese. However, soybean douchi will take at least 6 months of fermentation to change color.
Are there fermented Fava beans?
@freemanmt Yes. (You can ferment almost anything and almost everything has been fermented.) Your question is easy to look up the answer to and it is the foundation of Doubanjiang.
謝謝分享!👍
These black beans are actually a variety of soybean. They are black soybeans.
I don't see the point of washing off all that delicious fermented Koji on the black beans. Skip this step so that you don't have to dehydrate the beans afterward. Just proceed to the next step.
I was thinking the same thing!
You cut your hair! A lot!!! Looks good!
New hair🤩👍
I wander if the bacteria is nato
Oh snap she got a haircut 🎉
Copper makes the joints stretchy and causes dysplasia like right after giving born to a human
Zinc corrects that Within minutes yet collidal zinc is best or chemical grade zinc sulphate will do it too
For prolactin zinc acetate if not zinc sulphate
Cognitive dissonance is the correct word for people doctor Osborne neuropsychology shows all the OFC wants is what feels nice and the OFC takes the hippocampal-formation to base what's nice feeling on memory based biases including people sensorial induction and habits/gravitations
Also the insular and amygdala to take the fight or flight response into the OFC with the memory based bias
These land on the ventral striatum from temporal and frontal structures (inc. OFC/cingulate) conjugately
This is a VTA NAc phonation pathwa to talk crap biasly
And cognitive dissonance occurs here while the OFC projects to the rIFG to supress contrary interpretations - causing cognitve dissonance
What's more the OFC check memory and emotion centres to concur the feeling of what it hears - so if it's - not what they do, not what authority told them , not eha peers tell them and not what people in groups they believe told them -which all of this is processed by the pSTS posterior superior temporal sulcus, which is also use by the OFC to decide how to feel about both visual and auditory inputs (and information in social and novel contexts)
So if you give people good news about their bad habits they'll listen if you reflect what's in people neural networks at a moment to moment basis they will also be replenished and ever interested
Yet given the truth which is a firm unmoving thing - if tha doesn't converge than he OFC recruits memory, association, focus, compatibility, speech, multimodal social processing and finally cognitve dissonance amoung other heuristics to fight and take flight from the source of what just doesn't converge bias douches😂
That's a lot of work 🥵
