I always use black beans in my cooking. I would cook bitter gourd with some slices of pork and put in black beans. Though, to make my bitter gourd not that bitter, I soak it first (sliced already ) in a bowl with a tablespoon of salt .

Then after a few minutes I would pour out the water. Then, I put the bitter gourd last for just about a few minutes so it is crispy to bite.

But I haven’t tried putting black beans in chunks of chicken. I know this is a tasty recipe because of the black beans. I will give this recipe a try too.

I don’t know that black beans can be used for a chicken recipe. I use fish for that recipe; I add bitter gourd and some tomatoes into it. Thanks for posting this, I will try it.

I agree.

I was expecting to wake up one morning and hear how xyz bombs were dropped on N. Korea or how the nuclear plant was blown up. Nope. Moving on to discuss other topics. N. Korea has made stronger threats against the US than ISIS… yet… nothing.

We need to be always on red alert of our blood pressure for it does not matter age ;it matters the food we take and wine you drink.LOL>

@immortal, That is right, immortal and thank you for dropping by and sharing your valuable thought and feeling of this post very much reiterated comment. Do come again.

A well detailed recipe! Kudos !

I love potato cakes. But it never occurred to me to eat them with a sauce.

With respect, the only thing I see that the leaders of Syria and North Korea have in common is that they are both carrying on by walking in their fathers’ footsteps. Huge shoes to fill; and sadly those “shoes” were walking in the wrong direction. (O.o)

Many people may think of the head of North Korea has nothing more than a “spoiled guinea brat”. I don’t. But I also don’t think it’s wise to provoke him. If he is willing to kill family, why should he restrain himself from others who threaten or provoke him? Nevertheless, I don’t think he’s willing for his small part of the world to blown off the face of the earth!!! However … __________. What can I say? Prophecies and predictions are nothing more than “best guesses” these days.

As for that guy in Syria? Lord knows! Heaven help us all!
