I absolutely love Asian food, and all Asian ingredients! One of my favorites being Chinese fermented black beans, tausi or Dou Chi. It is made by fermenting and salting soybeans. It's flavor is pungent and very sharp, tasting salty,sweet and bitter at the same time. Use it only in small quantities because it is very salty!
1 kilo Pork Pata
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 bay leaf
2 Star Anise
1 teaspoon pepper corn
3 tablespoons tausi or salted black beans
1/2 cup of banana blossoms (optional)
Directions
1. Sear the pork pata in the pan, then add the sugar when the meat is brown. Add the minced garlic,black beans and star anise and mix all together.
2. Add the remaining ingredients (vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaf, and water) except banana blossoms together until the pork is tender.
*Halfway through the cooking, add banana blossoms and continue cooking until tender.
3. Arrange on a serving platter and serve with steaming hot rice.
