Growing up in Beijing, green beans and potatoes were always a staple in our home cooked meals. My mom likes to use the leftovers from Red Braised Ribs<\/a> or Braised Chicken<\/a> as a base, and cook some green bean and potato in it to make a hearty stew. These braised dishes use a soy sauce based sauce with a lot of aromatics for a very savory taste, combined with the umami of the meat. The green bean and potato absorb the sauce and taste super rich and delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when we don\u2019t have a leftover meat stew, this recipe really comes in handy. It uses just a few ingredients to make a hearty veggie stew that is just as rich in taste. It\u2019s very easy to put together too, making it a great side dish for your weekday meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green bean and potato stew ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tian Mian Jiang<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sweet bean sauce (\u751c\u9762\u9171, tian mian jiang), which translates literally to sweet flour sauce, is also called sweet bean paste or sweet flour paste. It is a thick dark brown sauce made from fermented wheat flour. It tastes salty, slightly sweet, and has a savory umami that is similar to that of fermented soybeans. Tian Mian Jiang is less salty than yellow soybean paste (\u9ec4\u9171) and less sweet than Hoisin sauce. It is the sauce that accompanies Peking Duck and Moo Shu Chicken<\/a>. And it\u2019s the main ingredient for making Beijing Fried Sauce Noodles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe uses Tian Mian Jiang as a main ingredient to create a savory stew base that is full of umami. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find sweet bean paste at Chinese markets and many Asian markets. You can also purchase it on Amazon<\/a> or on The Mala Market<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
