1:Wash dried black beans with warm water and soaked for 10 minutes,sieved set aside.
2:Prepare ,wash and cut all the vegetables,set aside.Wash and cut squid (to make curly design,cut halfway thru your squid on each cut,repeat each cut at opposite direction until the end.Then cut 2 inch on each piece)
Prepared skillet or wok at high heat with oil,add in garlic and black beans,fry until fragrant.

Dried Black Beans ~a reader email me a question what is the different between fermented dried black beans and GOYA brand black beans in can.Hope this photo will help him to identified the different between both beans.Photo speak thousand word,right?
Note:
You can use ready mixed black beans sauce or paste in bottle or can,to save the extra step or procedure to soaked and add in extra seasoning in your main dish.Ready mixed black beans sauce or paste is widely sold in any Asian market.

Yum! We prefer to add a little chili to spice it up a bit. This is so delicious served hot with jasmine rice! :)
I am always on the look out for new ways to enjoy fermented black beans and this looks good!
I too bought a packet of those cut and clean squid but they very really tough. It like eating rubber. I wonder if the one you bought are the same with mine? By the way, I like cooking with black bean too.
oh...fresh crunchy and juicy squids....looks really really good;)
This looks delicious. I love squid - what a great deal!
My mouth is watering...No one else in my home likes calamari besides me. I think it's because like another visitor said, it is sometimes difficult to cook and then it comes out rubbery. Yours looks amazing! What an interesting concept and the curly squid (Sponge Bob lookout:) adds such texture. Hmm..maybe I can try to fool them with this dish Thanks for sharing.
yummy! I love squid cooked this way, looks great!
Absolutely delicious! I miss eating squid.
Ok, I have squid, garlic, onion, and both colors of peppers.
I also have some dried black beans from Goya and canned black beans. That's not what they mean, correct?
I need to get fermented, Asian-style black beans, right?
ning:
Yes,I must have some chili in all my meal.The red pepper I used not really spicy,so I get some ready make chili on the side.

icook4fun:
Gert,I bought the white thick squid in frozen form that I show you b4.I think all squid is tough and rubbery.I cut the size in smaller ,so don't really feel rubbery.Maybe you should blanced the squid with hot water first b4 cooking.
christy:

louise:
This type of squid not really suitable for frying calamari.I try b4 and it's don't come out really good.You talking about Sponge Bob!! lol! my daughter favourite word "bubble tank"! maybe you should cook smaller portion just for yourself.U know what this whole plate of squid eaten by me only! My American hubby won't touch this dish at all!Typical American!

it's good you wanna to try our asian dish,one word for you! Bravo!.To answer your question I post the black bean pix on my post.hope it's help you.No you can't use Goya BB as the paste.I used GOYA black beans to used wt yellow rice,try that,it's good! If you have asian store nearby,get Lee Kum Kee ready mixed BB paste.
Classic!! I love squids. This dish is simple and easy... that will satisfy the tummy :)
Nice dish. I really like squid. I don't mind cleaning the squid coz that fresh one is so much tastier.
Fermented black beans are so good, and this recipe looks perfect. Although I didn't get an email about your post, I included it in Weekend Herb Blogging. Hope that's okay! Thanks for the entry!
PS: I can't download a picture in a usuable format - would you please email me one so I can include it in the WHB roundup? Thanks!
this reminds me of 20 over years ago when I use to get this at home... oh how much I just couldnt get enuff of it. Too bad hubby doesnt like squids so I cant cook it in my own home now :(
I've had dishes with black bean sauce in restaurants, but haven't cooked with it. Can't get squid here, but maybe shrimp would be good.
This contains all my fave ingredients - squid, black bean, onions ... must try! :D
laurie:
Thank you for accepting me.I guess my email MIA:(
pingmouse:
poor you ,hubby don't eat ,so you can't cook at home.My hubby don't care or mind what I cook,he don't eat my dish anyway.I always cook 2 different kinds of meal,western for him and asian for me.You see,I don't eat beef but I still cook steak for him vice verse..
kayln:

noobcook:

SHE. You answered the question about fermented black beans (I hope the paste will do in a pinch?)and Goya black beans. But the person asking is a SHE. ;)
Marti:
sorry for the identity mistake,thousand apologise:))
I would fry veggie first, then squid last 1 min. Can not be rubbery in this method. I LOVE IT.
