Notes

  1. When cooking pork with salted black beans just add the beans and don't add the liquid which is very salty.
  2. If you are concern about frying the tofu (tokwa) you may saute it with the other ingredients. Revise the recipe by adding tofu once the tomato is soft and cooked. Saute the tofu.
  3. When you have leftover beans just put it a small container submerged in the salty liquid and it can last for month.
