MeiMei Black Bean Magic, 100g

MeiMei Black Bean Magic is a flavour-rich Chinese umami condiment made from fermented black soybeans (douchi) in oil, an ingredient that has been a cornerstone of Chinese cuisine for generations. It is the secret behind the depth and character you so often find in great Chinese restaurants.

We have taken this classic, powerful flavour and made it accessible for your home kitchen. Naturally salty, rich, and complex, just a small amount transforms everything from simple tofu and vegetables to fish, meat, and dumplings into an extraordinary taste experience.

How to use Black Bean Magic

This is a true “flavour bomb” that works both as a cooking base and as a flavour enhancer. Here are a few ways to use it:
