By Jove, I’m almost able to make a decent fried rice, no more take out! The black bean sauce is a great addition. I threw in some leftover turkey which made a nice addition. Now I just need to practice, practice, and practice!

Black bean sauce definitely work well on fish.

A good recipe for fried rice I love black bean sauce. I used fresh green beans, it was delish! I will search for more simple recipes with black bean sauce. How about a fish filet with black bean sauce recipe? Thank you for help 🙂

In reply to David. Hi David, I usually update recipes that I receive very little feedback from my readers (which I assume the recipe is not very popular). So I usually revisit the recipe and see if I can improve it. For this one, I feel like the cumin flavor was too heavy when I retested it, so I deleted the ingredients from the recipe. I added more chili oil because I liked the taste. I also removed the eggs from the pan and added it back later, so the eggs will have a brighter color without getting "dyed" by the sauces.

Maggie, just curious. This is different from your earlier recipe for the same dish and I’m wondering why you changed it? (Trying to learn more about cooking and why chefs do what they do.)

Delicious! I’ve made this several times now, and it’s become my go-to fried rice recipe. Thank you for sharing.

In reply to Nicole Naasz. Sorry about that! I just updated the recipe with the cumin powder listed. It's 2 teaspoons.

How much cumin is needed (it’s not in the ingredient list)?

I LOVE Laoganma! I probably would add it to all my dishes if I feel lazy 😛
Yes, using a process to make fried rice will yield a very good result. I’m happy to hear you agree with me 🙂

Just cooked up a version of this for a quick lunch today. I’ve made fried rice before but never using any proper process…just throw everything in a little at a time and stir a lot! haha. I found your process about when and how to add the egg as well as not stirring so much created a much better result! I used a little bit of Laoganma in lieu of the fermented black beans. Thanks!
