Thai cuisine : what is a salty bean sauce? I'm making a chicken w/ ginger sauce....?

Question

Am I just supposed to take the juice out of the bean can? My book says nothing whatsoever......

Answer 1

bean paste  This name is used for both bean sauce and miso.

bean sauce = bean paste = brown bean sauce = brown bean paste = soybean condiment = yellow bean sauce = yellow bean paste = yuan shai shih = mo yuen shih   Notes:   This salty brown sauce is made from fermented soybeans, and is available in cans or jars.  If you buy it in a can, transfer it into a jar.  It can then be stored indefinitely in the refrigerator. Chinese bean sauce isn't as salty as Thai bean sauce.  Substitutes:  black bean sauce OR chili bean sauce OR awase miso OR brown miso
