This Chinese Black Bean Chili Sauce is an authentic Chinese condiment that is delicious served with Chinese dumplings.

My kids love Chinese dumplings and always eat them with some sort of Chinese dipping sauce. The simplest sauce I make is a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil and vinegar. I serve Chinese hot chili bean paste on the side to stir in for anyone who wants a little spiciness.

Recently, when I made dumplings for lunch, I had run out of hot chili bean paste, and dug up this recipe for Chinese Black Bean Chili Sauce from one of my aunt’s cookbooks. I hadn’t made it in years, but fondly remembered it. It’s made with Chinese fermented salted black beans, a condiment you’ll find in an Asian grocery store. Fermented salted black beans are nothing like the black beans you’ll find in a regular supermarket.

The fermented salted black beans must be rinsed well and drained before using as they are very salty. The recipe itself is very easy to make, and the results are well worth it.

    I have tried maybe 50 recipes and this, to me, is the ultimate all-around chili (with beans).
