Lee Kum Kee Crushed Yellow Bean Sauce, 470 g X0149

This Crushed Yellow Bean sauce is excellent

So tonight, I tried this in my chicken with cashew nuts dish and it was very very yummy! I’ll freeze it in small portions in an ice cube tray for easy dispensing in future. The sauce is very thick and paste like and incredibly salty so you need a small amount… I thought I’d post my final recipe which I really loved -served three of us : (Set 1) 2 chicken breasts cut in small chunks 1 egg white (I used the yolk in the fried rice) 2 tbsp potato starch (or cornflour) 1 tbsp shaoxing wine 1tsp light soy sauce (Set 2) 3 spring onions chopped 1 tin water chestnuts - drained 1 tin bamboo shoots - drained 2 level tbsp yellow bean sauce (Set 3) 2 level tbsp honey 50 ml cold water 1 tsp potato starch (or cornflour) 1 tbsp shaoxing wine … Plus 50g toasted cashew nuts A wok!!! Take 1st set of ingredients and mix together well to coats chicken and set aside for 5 mins. When fully combined and coated, deep fry in batches in the wok in 100ml medium hot oil till golden and crisp. Keep each piece of chicken separate. Drain into kitchen paper and remove all but 2 tbsp of the oil from the wok. Get wok back to medium hot. Add the spring onions, stir well then add yellow bean paste and stir again before adding the veg. Add chicken back to wok. Give it a good a mix to coat and then mix all ingredients from set 3 together well and pour into wok. This creates a sauce which you continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantlly. When piping hot and sauce is thick and coats everything, Sserve with rice and topped with toasted cashew nuts. I hope you like it if you try it… if you like a lot of salt you could try a touch more paste but I found a small amount worked better for our taste.

I love this brand, it's so delish, lasts for ages in the fridge, so good value

Great

Good product and good quality

It’s what I needed

I bought this hoping it would be comparable to the Sharwoods Yellow Bean Sauce recently removed from the market. In short it is not. It is much stronger and saltier, but a small amount can be used to make something comparable to the yellow bean sauce I was used to.

I only needed 2 tablespoons of this in my recipe. Tasted great . Froze the rest in little pots & use it for stir fries. Would buy this again
