    Make the soup base by heating oil in the pan until it is 40% hot, then add doubanjiang, minced ginger and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant. Add a spoonful of water, then add MSG, ground Sichuan pepper, soy sauce, and sugar, and simmer for 4 minutes before pouring into a bowl. Add sesame oil and chopped scallions to the broth in the bowl and set aside.

    Fragrant and slightly numbing, the mildly spicy, sweet, and salty golden soybeans are ready. The soybeans are soaked with the broth, soft, fragrant, and enjoyable to eat, making them a great dish to accompany rice or drinks.
