Marinade:
2 lbs. pork belly or shoulder butt or hocks, cut into serving pieces
3 tablespoons bottled or canned fermented black beans or black bean sauce
1/2 oz dried lily flowers (optional)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup white vinegar

Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add pork pieces and mix well. Cover with a plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour. After 1 hour, transfer the pork and marinade into a Dutch oven or heavy pan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and let simmer for 1 hour or until meat is tender, stirring and adding more water as needed. Add the black beans and lily flowers, if using; simmer for another 6 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Transfer into a serving plate. Serve with steamed rice.
