Black Bean & Garlic Paste

A paste forked into its own recipe per the archive's rule that accompanying components (glazes, marinades, rubs, sauces, etc.) are kept as standalone recipes. It also remains inline in Beef with Peppers and Black Bean Sauce, where it is originally used.

Ingredients

• 4 large cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
• 4 teaspoons (20 ml) black bean sauce,
• 4 tablespoons (60 ml) peanut oil
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ginger, grated
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt

Method

1. Add the garlic-black bean paste and stir, then cook until the paste releases its fragrance, about 30 seconds.
