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.”

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!!!!

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

This is very interesting. I would never have thought this could be made at home. I always buy it from the asian market.

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.

I love beans, all kinds of beans! 😊

60days, better buy online hahahaa, but this is better douchi i havent seen for quite long time.

[connalmaccon]

Now I'm curious if you could make this also with mung beans....

[serdalkaptan]

What are these bead (ball) shaped beans called? What type of black beans are they?

[artistmama]

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.

Is it better than the store-bought douchi?

[RockDog]

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!

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)

[mathiassack]

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!

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.

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😂

i ferment my chickpea in 2-3 days...😁
much too complicated method for me...

[NeilSpoonhower]

Cmon...so your video for people that don't have an Asian grocery stores main ingredient comes from an Asian grocery store??? Weak.
