Ingredients:

1 tbsp. fermented black beans

1 quarter-sized slice fresh ginger, peeled, minced

1 tbsp. Shao Hsing rice wine, or dry sherry

2 tbsp. peanut or corn oil

1/2 tsp. salt

6 oz. ground pork butt

1 small onion diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 tsp. sesame oil

Directions:

Cover the black beans with lukewarm water, and soak for 5 mins. Drain. Combine with the minced garlic and ginger. Gently crush into a paste. Mix in wine, and set aside.

Place a wok over med-high heat. When hot, drizzle in half of the oil. Add the shrimp, and stir-fry until they begin to curl and turn opaque, about 1 min.

Remove to a dish, and keep warm.

Reheat wok over med. heat. Add remaining tablespoon of oil and salt. Add the black bean paste, and sauté a few secs., until it becomes aromatic.

Increase heat to med-high. Add the pork, and stir-fry until the morsels are no longer pink, about 3 mins.

Add onions, peppers, sugar, white pepper and soy sauce. Toss together until the vegetables begin to soften, about 1 min.

Add the stock, and keep tossing until it comes to a boil. Stir the cornstarch mixture to recombine, then drizzle into the center of the work, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.
