I forgot to mention chopped garlic!! The trio of black beans, scallions,
and garlic is a classic. The addition of ginger works especially well with
seafood though.

Well, but you said you've looked at recipes for it, which I'm sure include
garlic. Still, just wanted to stress that it's hecka easy to make.
