We have a superb Chinese (+ other Asian) store in Milton Keynes, and we get packs of salted black beans there as opposed to jars or cans or beans or ready made sauce, definitely the best way to do BB dishes.

Recipes ? Ken Hom, Kenneth Lo, Even Keith Floyd will help. Lemme know if you still get no luck and I'll find some for you.

I tried Ken Homs tesco meals in the past but was not impressed

Are you making the sauce from scratch ?

As g8ina says you need the packs of salted black beans. From there I usually add some soy sauce, a little bit of black rice wine vinegar (just a splash), loads of garlic, a bit of ginger (usually just the juice squeezed out of a piece) and some finely chopped fresh chilli.

I usually use finely sliced rump steak, a couple of diced peppers, finely sliced mushrooms and onion, fry everything off and add the sauce bits. I don't bother thickening the sauce as I like it quite dry

I don't bother - I don't find it needs it. Maybe the sweetness of the peppers is enough to balance it
