One of My Favorites!

I tell my husband each time I eat one of his homemade Chinese dishes that I had no idea Chinese food could be so good. He says the same thing to me when I make Mexican food. I guess we both agree that nothing really beats homemade food but it is also a reminder to not dismiss a certain type of food or cooking you might just be suprised at how good it is and it might even become one of your favorites.

This night Tom made pork in black bean sauce with green bell peppers, onions and for some heat two jalapenos. We serve it on top of some steamed rice. It is also one of those dishes that gets better the second day and the sauce for this dish is so delicious that I have to have just the sauce on top of some crispy rice. What's crispy rice? After you have scopped out almost all the rice from the pot (yes we do not use a rice cooker) you leave the stove on low and in 15 minutes or so you will have a toasty crispy yummy rice layer at the bottom of the pot.

Crispy rice is one of those things you might be fighting over for at the dinner table, especially since there is only a limited amount made out of each pot. I posted a picture of the crispy rice so everyone could see :-)

Cheers and Enjoy,
