Pork with salted black beans also known as pork with tausi is a very easy and quick dish to prepare and cook. When my mom cooks this dish I can easily tell that she’s making pork with salted black beans. It’s aroma lingers throughout the kitchen and dining area.
When buying salted black beans I get the 180g (6.34 oz) which I use for a few dishes. Unless you are cooking for the whole army you don’t need to use the whole can when making Pork with Tausi. Don’t add the liquid since it is very salty. I only add the beans when cooking. If you have leftover beans just store it in a small container submerged in the salty liquid. It can stay in your fridge for months.
When making this dish I use the meaty part of pork spareribs with a little bit of fat in it. I find the spareribs to be tastier with this dish but other parts of pork meat will work as well. I’ve had this with salad and it turned out to be good but I still prefer it with white rice.
