How to make doubanjiang?

1. Soak the peppers in salt water for 5 minutes.

2. Wash and drain the peppers.

3. Rinse moldy Douban slightly with water, because mold will produce amino acids.

4. Put the chili pepper into the Thermomix mixing bowl.

5. Crush into pieces at 12 seconds/speed 4.5.

6. Don’t break it too much, just make it into pieces.

7. Heat the oil in a hot pan and let it cool.

8. Use 1 jin of hot water to dissolve 1 jin of salt.

9. Pour the drained moldy bean paste into salt water and mix well.

10. Add the chili cubes and mix well.

11. Pour in white wine and continue mixing.

12. Sprinkle in Sichuan peppercorns and mix well.

13. Finally, pour in the cooled cooked vegetable oil and mix well.

14. Continue to stir thoroughly and let it sit in the basin overnight.

15. Wash and disinfect the glass bottles in advance and wipe dry.

16. The next morning, spoon the bean paste into the glass bottle.

17. The weather is sunny, which is a good time to dry the bean paste. Put the bean paste outside to bask in the sun, then bring it in after sunset. Cover it at night, but do not cover it tightly and let it ventilate. The same is true when the sun is shining. Stir it once every morning. After a week of drying, you no longer need to stir it. Then continue to dry it. If you do this for a month, you can eat it.
