Directions
Hunan Smoked Ham Hock With Hot Black Bean Sauce, 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., This was very tasty, easy, and definitely a keeper! used ham hocks as originally written, but pork stock instead of chicken broth. Instead of wasting the water used to boil the hocks in for the first step, I made pork stock from it, adding the bones back to the water and continuing to boil a few more hours, which worked well. I want to note that fermented black beans is also known as black bean sauce in case anyone’s put off by that ingredient; if it’s not in your ordinary grocery store (in the Asian condiment section), you’ll find it in an Asian grocery store if you have one near you. I served with rice this time; I’ll likely serve with noodles in the future. Thanks Queen Dragon Mom for an interesting, different, yummy recipe!, This was very tasty, easy, and definitely a keeper! used ham hocks as originally written, but pork stock instead of chicken broth.
