Most of us have those ‘backup’ canned foods that we keep in the pantry, but what happens when our favorite one literally makes us sick! At this point, we either vow to never eat it again…or we make it from scratch, so that we know what goes into what we’re eating!

WokkingMum from Let’s get Wokking wanted to make her husband a meal he would always remember, but not for gastrointestinal reasons :)! She took one of his favorite foods and made it from scratch. Fermented black beans top her steamed snapper. If you’re not familiar with fermented black beans, you might be a bit surprised to find out that they’re actually black soy beans that have soaked in a salty solution, giving them a distinctive salty flavor.

WokkingMum’s dish let’s the fermented black beans shine; you won’t find too many exotic spices in this dish, just garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. WokkingMum also cooks the fish by steaming it, as the title suggests, in only 8 minutes! This is a recipe to try when you’re looking for something new, healthy and not too complicated!
