HUNAN SMOKED HAM HOCK WITH HOT BLACK BEAN SAUCE
Adopted! Original poster's comments: Canadian bacon, smoked pork shoulder or picnic ham can be substituted for the ham hocks. QDM: I have changed the servings from 2 to 4, as well, to account for serving with rice.

Steps:
- Place ham hocks in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour or until the meat easily separates from the bone with a fork.
- Remove hocks from water, allow to cool, take off meat from the bones and slice into 1 inch slices.
- This step can be done well ahead.
- Note: If using canadian bacon, picnic ham or smoked pork shoulder you amy simmer in water until very tender or use as is without simmering.
- Heat wok or saute pan over high heat, add vegetable oil and when very hot add black beans and garlic; mash together.
- Stir in meat, add green pepper, soy sauce, red pepper powder and chicken broth.
- Stir continuously until well blended; add green onion.
- Serve hot.
Tips:
- Choose a good quality ham hock. Look for one that is meaty and has a good amount of fat. Smoked ham hocks are also a good option.
- Soak the ham hock in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove some of the saltiness and make the meat more tender.
- Simmer the ham hock in water or broth until it is fall-off-the-bone tender. This will typically take about 2 hours.
- Make the black bean sauce while the ham hock is cooking. This sauce is made with fermented black beans, garlic, ginger, and chili peppers. It is a delicious and flavorful sauce that pairs perfectly with the ham hock.
- Serve the ham hock with the black bean sauce and steamed rice. You can also add other sides such as roasted vegetables or a green salad.

Hunan smoked ham hock with hot black bean sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The ham hock is fall-off-the-bone tender and the black bean sauce is flavorful and spicy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
