The fermented black beans are Chinese salty black beans made with black soybeans. These are so much better than the prepared black bean sauce in the bottle. The packaging keeps them fresh, and they are ready to go. These are fermented black (soy) beans and not the same type as the dried black beans so often used in mexican and caribbean cuisines.
These beans produce a very savory flavor that is good on its own, but even better when contrasting it with fresh clean flavors like basil, mint, green onions, etc. The beans do not require soaking as you would do with dry beans. A small spoon of these black beans along with some crushed garlic (and perhaps some fresh ginger) will elevate all your stir fry dishes.

Lots of fresh garlic, soy sauce, oil, some water partially mash them etc
