Ingredients:
2 teaspoons fermented
black beans
1
garlic
clove
1/4 pound ground pork
2
scallion stalks
Mixture:
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sherry
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon
cornstarch (corn flour)
2 tablespoons water
2 eggs, beaten
Directions:
Mix together the
soy sauce, sherry, sugar, and water
in a small bowl. Set aside. Beat the eggs lightly
and set aside.
Wash black beans and let sit for a few minutes to
soften. Mince the
garlic clove. Mash it together
with the soaked black beans.
Cut the
scallions
into sections approximately 1/2
inch long. Add to the
soy sauce/sherry/sugar and
water mixture.
Heat wok and add oil, swirling to coat the sides.
When oil is ready, add the mashed black beans and
garlic
and stir-fry briefly. Add the ground pork,
and stir-fry until it changes color.
Give the
scallion/soy sauce mixture a quick stir and
add to the wok. Bring to heat heat, and then cook,
covered, under medium heat for about 3 minutes.
While the ingredients are cooking, mix together the
cornstarch and water to form a paste. Add to wok,
stirring to thicken the sauce.
Give the beaten eggs a quick stir and add, stirring.
Remove the sauce from the heat, pour over shrimp or
lobster and serve.
