Cooking Tips

  • Avoid adding too much extra salt, as the pickled beans are already seasoned.
  • For a spicier dish, increase the amount of fresh chilies.
  • Serve with steamed rice for a traditional and satisfying meal.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve it with steamed rice when you want a simple Chinese home-cooked meal.
  • Use it as a small side dish with congee, noodles, dumplings, or a rich braised main.
  • A small portion can brighten heavier dishes because the sour, salty flavor cuts through richness.
