    Clams in Black Bean Sauce with @yds_amberiver ferm Clams in Black Bean Sauce with @yds_amberiver fermented black beans from @yunhaishop #yunhaipartner

These fermented black soybeans (AKA douchi) come from Yu Ding Xing, a family-owned soy sauce brewery based in Taiwan that uses slow, traditional fermentation. The black soybeans are cultured for 180 days in earthenware vessels under the sun, then some are brewed into soy sauce and some are reserved to make douchi. These douchi are unlike any other I’ve tried. They have a rich, salty funk and almost chocolatey undertone and a plump texture. Find it at Yun Hai online or at their Brooklyn brick-and-mortar store. 

Serves 2
2 Tbsp @yds_amberiver fermented black beans
2 Tbsp cooking oil
1 Tbsp ginger, minced
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
1.5 lbs manila or little neck clams
2 Tbsp Shaoxing wine
¼ cup + 3 Tbsp water
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp sugar
1 teaspoon Amber River soy sauce
2 fresno peppers or ½ cup bell pepper, thinly sliced
Handful of Thai basil leaves

Place the fermented black beans in a bowl and cover with cold water to soak for 2 minutes before draining.

Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the drained fermented black beans, ginger, and shallots. Stir fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. 

Add the clams, Shaoxing wine, and water. Briefly toss then cover and cook until the clams have mostly opened. 

Combine the cornstarch, sugar, 3 Tbsp water, and soy sauce to form a slurry. Stream the slurry into the wok then immediately stir to disperse. Continue cooking until the sauce has thickened, about a minute more.

Remove the pan from heat and fold in the peppers and basil. Enjoy hot.
