Hunan Smoked Ham Hock With Hot Black Bean Sauce image

Adopted! Original poster's comments: Canadian bacon, smoked pork shoulder or picnic ham can be substituted for the ham hocks. QDM: I have changed the servings from 2 to 4, as well, to account for serving with rice.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs smoked ham hocks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fermented black beans
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
1 cup green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon hot red pepper powder
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 green onions, cut into 1 inch pieces

Steps:

  • Place ham hocks in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour or until the meat easily separates from the bone with a fork.
  • Remove hocks from water, allow to cool, take off meat from the bones and slice into 1 inch slices.
  • This step can be done well ahead.
  • Note: If using canadian bacon, picnic ham or smoked pork shoulder you amy simmer in water until very tender or use as is without simmering.
  • Heat wok or saute pan over high heat, add vegetable oil and when very hot add black beans and garlic; mash together.
  • Stir in meat, add green pepper, soy sauce, red pepper powder and chicken broth.
  • Stir continuously until well blended; add green onion.
