Pork & Kangkong in Black Bean Sauce
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieDon’t like pork? Substitute chicken, boned or deboned. Fish fillet is also good for this recipe.

When cooking with tausi, or fermented black beans, discard the liquid in which it has been soaked. The liquid is too salty. Wash the beans before using them to get rid of the strong smell. Then crush them to release the flavor. It’s the flavor that we’re after, not the pungent smell.
Like I’ve written before, when I say “discard” the hard stalks, what I really mean is we don’t include it in cooking the dish. We don’t throw them away. We feed them to the hamsters. Less garbage to dispose of, the hamsters get a more nutritious meal, and less expense for us since it means they consume less pellets if we give them all the vegetable trimmings everyday.

Hi Ms Connie,
I have a jar of Lee Kum Kee Black Bean Garlic Sauce pa in my ref. I thought before that thats the same thing as fermented black bean so i bought it, until my mother in law gave me a can of the real black bean (tausi)(so now i know the difference). I have never use the Black Bean Garlic Sauce and dont want to be wasteful so I want to use it na sana. In this recipe, can i use the Black Bean Garlic Sauce instead of buying pa a can of fermented black beans?
Sure, why not?
