豆豉不只是家常的調味料，也是治傷風感冒的良藥，肥丁感冒的時候，曾獲中醫處方豆豉，藥到病除。單味豆豉的藥性不強，要發揮入葯的功效必須配合其他中藥材，有病還是要看醫生唷。天氣漸冷，丁媽叮囑可以多吃蒜頭預防感冒，現代醫學亦認為蒜能提高身體的免疫力。美味又有食療之效，最簡單不就是蒜蓉豆豉醬麼？

The “black” in their name has led to some naming confusion; black beans here refer to soy beans, fermented and heavily salted. The result of this process is a flavour at once gratingly salty, alarmingly trash-baggy, and suspiciously sweet. They are intensely savoury, a flavour enhancer as much as a flavour on their own. Next to some good soy sauce and a wok, they’re an indispensable ingredient that can almost instantly improve your efforts at Chinese cuisine.

Ingredients

• 20 g Chinese Fermented Black Beans
• 2 tbsp Minced Garlic
• 3 tbsp Caster Sugar
• Cornstarch Gravy ( 1/2 tsp Cornstarch + 1 tbsp Water )
• 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
• 1 tbsp Chinese Rice Wine

Preparation

1.  Mash fermented black beans with a spoon. Mince garlic. Dissolved cornstarch in cold water.

2. Heat some oil over a saucepan, add minced garlic and rice wine and cook for a while. Add fermented black beans, caster sugar and cornstarch gravy. Stir constantly and simmer at low heat for about 1 mins. Transfer to a sterilised jar, let cool. It can be stored in refrigerator for 1 week if it is not to be used immediately.
