Frequently Asked Questions

We answer everything you want to know about Douchi.

What is douchi?

Douchi is a traditional Chinese seasoning made from fermented and salted black soybeans. It is known for its intense, savory umami flavor and is widely used in stir-fries, steamed dishes, and sauces.

Do I need to rinse fermented black beans before using them?

Generally, you do not need to rinse them. They are meant to be a concentrated flavor enhancer. However, if you find them too salty for your specific recipe, you can lightly rinse them or use a smaller amount.

How should I store douchi?

Store your fermented black beans in a sealed container in a cool, dry place. They have a long shelf life and can last for over a year when properly stored.

What are some popular dishes that use douchi?

Douchi is a key ingredient in many classic dishes, including Mapo Tofu, steamed spareribs with black bean sauce, stir-fried clams, and various black bean chicken recipes.

Is douchi the same as black bean sauce?

While they are related, they are different. Douchi refers to the whole fermented beans themselves, whereas black bean sauce is a prepared condiment often made by combining douchi with aromatics like garlic, ginger, and other seasonings.
