Very rich. Sorry I can’t give proper estimates…I was shown the recipe by an old lady and since Chinese don’t use exact measurements, she didn’t write any for me! I’d guess at saying between 1/2-1 cup of oil is needed, but pour it out very slowly so that you don’t pour out too much. Also, don’t use olive oil, it makes the cookies too rich, so use canola or vegetable oil.

I have prepared this recipe from the Frugal Gourmet’s “Cooking Three Ancient Cuisines” for many years. I have adapted the recipe a bit for my own tastes, of course. Look for the black beans in plastic bags in an asian market or health food store. These are not the canned black beans used in southwest cuisine, they are fermented soy beans leftover from making soy sauce. I serve this as one course in a chinese meal. It simplifies things when you don’t have too many stir fry dishes to prepare at the same time.
Prepare everything ahead of time. Found this recipe on Wolfgang Puck’s web site and it is very good. It is pretty time consuming but so worth the effort!
This is a delicious recipe that uses all Chinese ingridients, but is easily prepared with a conventional oven. My last recipe had way too much fat and salt, so I lightned it up.
