  1. This takes minutes and tastes as good, if not better than any Chinese Restraunt I've been too. You'll be surprised how easy this is to make. I used preserved black beans with ginger that come in a carboard cylinder carton. I also used water in place of the fish stock since I didn't have any on hand. I served it with recipe #243665 and some steamed asparagus. A very special dinner perfect for a weeknight. Thank you PAC Baby!
     
  2. This was very good and easy to make. I used black bean paste and substituted chicken broth for personal preference. Made for the Top Favorites of 2009 Cookbooks Tag Game.
