Black bean sauce, an ingredient commonly used in Chinese cuisine, is made of fermented beans and packs a flavorful umami-punch. It can be used in stir-fries, like in this recipe, or as a rub for chicken, pork, or beef. Look for it alongside the other jarred Asian ingredients on the International cooking aisle at your grocery store. To make this easy skillet dish a meal, serve with steamed broccoli or spooned over steamed riced cauliflower. We sprinkle the finished dish with fresh cilantro but chopped basil or scallions would be equally delicious. And, for dessert, enjoy a colorful combination of cubed mango, honeydew melon, and watermelon.
