How to choose good fermented soybeans
- Fermented soybeans usually come in 2 types, one black and one yellow.
- For stir-fry or braised dishes, yellow fermented soybeans are tastier because their flavor is mainly sweet.
- Black fermented soybeans are usually pre-seasoned, so they are a bit salty, making it difficult to season while cooking.
- When buying fermented soybeans, before using them, it’s best to taste the saltiness and sweetness to adjust the seasoning appropriately during cooking.
