Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon fermented black beans, -- rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 pound lean ground pork
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 pound Chinese green beans, -- trimmed & blanched
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons 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
