The savoury flavour of fermented Chinese black beans is almost indescribable. First, there’s a fruitiness that develops rich, smoky, miso-like undertones. Then bam! That back-of-the-throat-warming chilli kicks in. And before you know it, you’re in love. No messin’, this spicy stuff’s a game-changer.
Ingredients: Chinese black beans (soya), Black sesame seeds, Gochugaru, Chilli flakes, Crispy garlic, Sichuan pepper, Cinnamon, Star anise, Organic raw cane sugar, Tamari, Sunflower oil, Sea salt
PS. It's also Michel Roux's desert island ingredient. He says: "Other than a bottle of champagne for an emergency, the one thing I always have in my store cupboard is a jar of White Mausu black bean rayu... The black beans have such a depth of flavour, and the kick of chilli livens up any dish"
Made in Ireland, by White Mausu.
