Love black bean sauce? Head over to Rasa Malaysia, where I have a guest post recipe up for spicy black bean spare ribs. While you’re there, check out Bee’s other great recipes for Chinese and Southeast Asian food.

Thanks for guest writing. :)
Looks delicious.
I get so confused with the black beans and the bean pastes when I’m at the supermarket. Are fermented black beans those beans that are usually sold in vacuum-packed bags? I bought a jar of black bean garlic sauce (in a jar), but after cooking with it, it didn’t seem to have the same flavour that I remember.
Any tips? I can match Chinese words. :)
js – Fermened black beans come in either vacuum-packed bags, regular plastic bags, or jars. If you chop up whole black beans they tend to be a lot more pungent than jar sauces.
I LOVE black bean spare ribs, and have ever since I was a kid and ate them regularly from dim sum carts. My late-Mom sometimes made her own version of the dish. And yes, she made her own black bean paste in the blender. Thanks for bringing back those wonderful memories.
