YELLOW BEAN SAUCE - A thick, spicy, aromatic sauce made of sweet yellow beans

(soy), flour and salt which are fermented together. It is quite salty, but it

adds a distinctive flavor to Chinese (esp. Beijing) sauces. There are two forms:

whole beans in a thick sauce and mashed or pureed beans (sold as crushed yellow

bean sauce). Ken prefers the whole bean variety " because it is slightly less

salty and has a better texture. " Sharwood (brand). Hot Thai version " Bean Sauce

(Tao Jiao) " Substitute a sweet miso. Store the unused portion in refrigerator

or freeze.

NOTES : Celery is a much neglected vegetable in Ken's opinion. It is used in

stocks, chopped and added to salads or simply used as a filler. " I love it's

distinctive taste and flavor and often use it as a main vegetable by itself,

simply stir fried. " It should still be crunchy, which is part of it's

attraction. " This is an easy dish to make and is a wonderful accompaniment to

any meal. " (Ken Hom 1999 Hot Wok)
