"Kathy is my sister. She & her DH have lived & spent a lot of time in the orient. He was raised there as his Dad was a marine biologist doing research for the US Navy in Taiwan. I asked her to give me a selection of her favorite recipes for an oriental meal & this is the main-course she picked. She further described it as the "best dish I make". As with her other recipes, her source was her "Wei-Chuan Cookbook" by Huang Su Huei. Enjoy!"

Pure deliciousness. The pork gives this a nice flavor. I had both kinds of brown bean sauce in the frig, the ground as well as the hot, and decided to use the first one with just an extra teaspoon of the hot, so it wouldn't be too hot for us. I also omitted the salt and added water chestnuts for extra veg and crunch - and they worked nicely. A really great dish - everything is spot on.
