   In a separate pot, add some oil, ginger slices and garlic slices and sauté until fragrant. Add small red chili peppers and a little salt, and stir-fry for a while. Since the small red chili peppers are quite spicy, fry them in oil and salt beforehand to remove the raw spiciness. Then add a little fermented bean paste and stir-fry until fragrant.
