Steamed Pork Mince with Fried Dace & Black Bean

Steamed Pork Mince with Fried Dace & Black Bean (29 Apr 2012)

I love canned Fried Dace Fish with Black Bean. It's not the healthiest food but it sure compliments a bowl of hot plain porridge. Sometimes, I don't even bother with the porridge and eat it on it's own. (Hush, straight from the can!) With that unhealthy habit, I simple had to buy a better brand like the Eagle Coin ~ less oily, whole black beans and firm fish meat.

My favourite brand - Eagle Coin!

I saw this recipe while browsing through shelves of recipe books at the store. The combination looks inviting and it's easy to prepare. Try this recipe if you run out of ideas for steaming pork.
