“This is a great Chinese recipe. I love this dish – you can control the spice by varying the cayenne. I hope you like it as much as I do.”

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 tablespoon fermented black beans, rinsed and mashed
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili paste with garlic
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 (14 ounce) package tofu, drained and cut into cubes
  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, mixed with equal parts water

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine ground pork, sherry and 1 teaspoon cornstarch; set aside.
  2. In a separate small bowl, combine black beans, chile paste, cayenne pepper, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger; set aside.
