Temple Salted Black Beans are fermented, salted black soybeans used as a powerful umami seasoning in Asian cooking, known for their deep, savory, slightly pungent flavor that adds rich depth to stir-fries, sauces, steamed dishes, and soups, often needing just a small amount to flavor a whole meal. They are traditionally made with soybeans, salt, water, and sugar, and used as a flavor enhancer rather than eaten in large quantities. .
