Title: Green Beans With Fermented Black Beans And Po
Categories: New imports, Vegetables
Yield: 4 servings


1 TB fermented black beans, --
: rinsed and drained
1 TB garlic minced
1/2 ts fresh minced ginger
1 TB vegetable oil
1/2 lb lean ground pork
1/4 c chicken stock
1 lb Chinese green beans, --
: trimmed & blanched
2 TB soy sauce
2 TB water
2 ts cornstarch

In a small bowl, mash the black beans into the garlic
and ginger. In a large wok or saute pan heat the oil
and cook the pork, stirring occasionally until all the
pink is gone--about 10 minutes. Then add the mashed
fermented beans and stock, mix together and cook for 2
minutes. Add the green beans, mix together and cook
for 3 more minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl mix together
the soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of water and cornstarch
until they form a paste. While stirring pour the
cornstarch mixture into the liquid in the bottom of
the wok. The liquid will thicken and as you toss the
wok, coating the beans. Taste and re-season with salt
and pepper if needed
