  • Broad Bean Paste, in Chinese Douban Jiang 豆瓣酱, is an indispensable ingredient in Sichuanese cuisine. Folklore had it that the making of broad bean paste in Pixian dates back to 300 years to the Qing Dynasty (清朝), and the earliest written record of paste-making can be traced back to 2000 years ago, in the Western Han Dynasty (西汉).

    For me Dou Bian Jiang is the taste of Chinese food. I love the cuisines of Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou and Yunnan the most.
    Travelling around China is an adventure of the tongue.

    Thank you for this video! I've been trying to get into chinese cooking and this really helped me out with understanding dou ban. Hopefully I'll be able to cook proper mapo tofu soon!

    This is essential in kung pao chicken. Around the time you're adding the garlic and ginger, put in a tablespoon or two of this paste to make your flavor base. Once you cook it and release the flavors, it's perfect for getting the right heat and bite to the dish.

    The first time I tried making mapo tofu, I could not find Dou Ban Jiang. I tried to substitute with things like red chili flakes, smoked paprika, a little sugar, etc and thought that it might be a decent substitute. It was still a delicious dish but it definitely was not Mapo Tofu, as I found out the next time I made it whenever I actually did have the paste. It's so different you just can't replicate it with substitutes.

    • @LishasSpicyKitchen
      @LishasSpicyKitchen  2 года назад +1

      I totally agree! Your substitution combination makes perfect sense but yeah it is so hard to recreate the taste from fermentation.

    hi lisha, great video! does the doubanjiang need to be stir fried freshly every single time in small portions, or can we stir fry a big batch and keep it in the fridge? does it deteriorate after being stirfried?

    • @LishasSpicyKitchen
      @LishasSpicyKitchen  2 года назад +1

      Thanks so much Colin! I hope you enjoyed it. :) The doubanjiang needs to be stir-fried each time freshly for the best flavour. It would probably keep for a few days (although I never tried), but the flavour may not be as good once it has cooled down for too long. You’ll probably see other varieties of Doubanjiang around, e.g. Doubanjiang with oil has shorter period of shelf time (often only 6 months) because the paste had come into contact with other ingredients after fermentation. I hope you enjoy cooking with it😊.

    Since this cooked on medium low heat, I should take it out of the wok before stir frying meats and veggies on high heat? And then just use it as a sauce at the end?

    • @LishasSpicyKitchen
      @LishasSpicyKitchen  7 месяцев назад

      No, leave it in. When you add more ingredients they won’t burn on high heat. The pasta will infuse your cooking oil and the food throughout the cooking process.

      The chili oil goes better with Ramen but you can use the broad bean paste to cook the vegetables or meats that go in Ramen.
