Getting my Chinese On

I'm in Stockton today, visiting my Grandma. She just taught me how to make homemade garlic and black bean sauce. :)

Cheaper, more flavorful and less sodium than store bought. :)

Approximate recipe:

1 cup dry Chinese black beans (from Asian market - buy the kind in the cotton bag versus plastic)
3-4 cloves of garlic
2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Mash the black beans and the garlic together (as you can see, Grandma uses the bottom of the handle of a cleaver)

Mix in the vegetable oil.
