Pork Belly and Snake Bean in Black Bean Sauce
There are probably many many Chinese dishes that one can prepare with a bottle of black bean garlic sauce, and I think cooking pork with said sauce is one of the more traditional approach. The recipe that comes with the bottle also uses pork (steamed pork in black bean sauce), though I haven’t given it a try to judge if said recipe is okay or not :) I love adding some vegetables to my meat dishes, and the rule of thumb is to pick the one that is freshest in the market. I chose snake beans because I love them, and more importantly, they were looking gorgeous in the market. But other greens such green beans, bitter melons, green peas, or broccoli can be used instead of the snake beans.
