Pork Ribs With Fermented Soy Beans

Labels: , , ,


I grew up eating fermented salted black soy beans. In the Philippines it is called tausi and sold at wet markets. They are also sold in cans and plastic pouches. My mom used to add it to sauteed bitter melon or fish. This type of fermented soy bean sauce with whole beans is no longer available here in the US although years ago I bought the canned variety from China or maybe Taiwan but couldn't find the same thing recently. Or maybe I don't know the label.

Lasang Pinoy Sundays: Steamed

Labels: , , , , ,





One of my dad's and now my own family's favorite dishes is steamed fish seasoned with fermented black beans (salted soy beans called tausi), sliced ginger, scallions, sesame seed oil, and salty Chinese ham. This is one Chinese dish we never get tired of and always regard as something special. I love tausi whole when adding to dishes to savor its salty goodness.

Lasang Pinoy, Sunday Edition is a weekly photography meme hosted by SpiCes. Enjoy other "steamy" entries here.

Diced Chicken and Peppers with Salted Black Beans

Labels: , , ,


I'm tired of tofu and seitan so for tonight I made my favorite Chinese stir fry, diced chicken and peppers with salted black beans (tausi in Filipino). This is perhaps the easiest dish to prepare.

Diced Chicken with Sweet Peppers and Salted Black Beans
½ pound boneless skinless white or dark chicken pieces
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1 egg white
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons light olive oil
1 each red and green bell pepper, diced
3 tablespoons salted black beans
4 pieces spring onions
½ tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Dice the chicken and place in a bowl. Mix in salt, egg white, and cornstarch, set aside. Heat a wok or a large non-stick pan on high, add the and stir fry chicken for 4 to 5 minutes until slightly colored, transfer to a dish. In the same pan, add the remaining oil and when hot, saute ginger, spring onions, and peppers for 2 minutes, put the chicken back in the wok or pan and stir fry for 1 to 2 minutes, add the black beans and stir fry for another minute. Voila! Healthy, tasty, very easy. Perfect with steamed Japanese short grain rice.
