Chef's notes

This version features broccoli and salmon.

The list of ingredients is moderate and prep quick and easy.

Whole imported Fermented Black Beans are available on Amazon and some specialty Asian grocery stores. They are sometimes also available in general grocers in paste form but are heavily salty.
