Dousi Lengyu (Fried Dace with Fermented Black Bean)

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Cook steamed white rice.

My Notes

This isn't really a recipe so much as a pantry staple serving suggestion.
The fermented black beans (douchi) are intensely savoury and pair perfectly with plain white rice.
Keep a few cans in the pantry for a fast, satisfying meal.
