Mee Chun Salted Black Beans are a distinct ingredient used to add authentic flavour to various Chinese dishes. These beans are known as fermented black beans and are particularly noted for their strong and salty taste, which arises from the fermentation process where soybeans turn black and shrink. They're versatile and can be cooked with a variety of ingredients like pork, chicken breast, green onion, leek leaf, and garlic.
