Chef Calvin Eng, while creating over 85 recipes for his cookbook 'Salt Sugar MSG,' faced burnout and disinterest in cooking. He found comfort and inspiration in his homemade black bean garlic sauce, crafted from fermented black soy beans and other pantry staples. This versatile sauce, which can complement various dishes like egg custard, steamed fish, or stir-fried vegetables, became a go-to solution for Eng, especially for meals his toddler enjoys, revolutionizing mealtime amid a demanding recipe development process.
In the midst of developing more than 85 recipes for his debut cookbook, chef Calvin Eng of Bonnie's in Brooklyn reached a tipping point.
The saving grace? His homemade black bean garlic sauce. Made from fermented black soy beans and a handful of other pantry ingredients, it keeps nicely in the fridge.
