How do you make Chinese crispy black bean sauce?

There was a restaurant in Baltimore, MD called Szechuan Best. They had a dish called Tofu with Crispy Bean Sauce. It was just steamed plain tofu and broccoli with a crispy brownish topping which was the crispy bean sauce. I have not had it in years and its hard for me to explain but I was wondering if anyone knows how to make this dish!? Any ideas at all would be extremely helpful.

I have never eaten in that restaurant so I don't know exactly how it should be, but try this, maybe it helps. You need minced garlic, black beans which you can buy from Chinese grocery store, but I am not sure if you can find this in your area because not a lot of Americans even know about this.



You need a hot pan of oil, can be peanut, canola oil, first put in the black beans, add salt or a little chicken powder (optional), then the garlic and stir it together fast. Note burnt garlic tastes bitter so don't burn it, now it's ready. If you want a thick sauce, you can add a few tablespoons of cornstarch with water or chicken broth.How do you make Chinese crispy black bean sauce?
Best to try and locate commercially prepared black bean sauce in the Oriental isle at your supermarket. Two brands to look for are Kikkoman and Lee Kum Kee. For true fermented black beans an Oriental market carries them. I use Kikkoman simply because it is what is available here in Mexico.
