My Secret Weapon in the Kitchen

Fermented chile bean sauce (toban djan) will change your cooking life. You can marinate with it, use it as a rub, in a sauce or any way you can imagine. The fermented beans supply all the punch of authenticity and honesty you need to make some great Chinese food at home. Want to try cooking with it at home? My recipe for Pork & Asparagus with Chile-Garlic Sauce is as good as it gets.
