"Fermented black beans are found in Asian markets and once you buy them, they last pretty much forever!

From chef Fuchsia Dunlop with my addition of some red pepper for color!..."

"This is an extraordinary way of cooking cucumber, revealing an unexpected side to the vegetable. Although cooked in a wok, the cucumber pieces are colored by laying them more-or-less flat against the surface of the wok, a method known in Chinese as jian (pan-fry) rather than chao (stir-fry). From the Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook."
