It's Thursday, let's do this.

Let me kick this off by saying that, personally, I think green beans and lima beans are great and all the other beans are gross.

    I've never made the fermented beans and they're so hard to get around here. anyone know how to make them? how hard is it?

      Pretty easy to make if you can buy fermented black beans, otherwise you have to have a bowl of beans fermenting for a couple of weeks. The sauce itself is basically just adding nice spices to it in a pot for a bit. Here is a tutorial video, mostly just waiting around.

      But you can usually get some premade stuff from wherever you'd get the sichuan pepper corns anyway.

        yeah, it's the fermented beans themselves that are hard to get here. we've been subbing oyster sauce to get a similar flavor but...
