Directions:

1. Soak fermented black beans. Mince garlic, then mash with drained
beans.

2. Slice pork thin against the grain. Combine cornstarch, soy sauce,
sherry and sugar; then add to pork and toss to coat.

3. Cut bitter melon lengthwise in half (scoop out the seeds), then cut
crosswise in 1/16-inch slices. Parboil 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Blend remaining cornstarch, soy sauce and sugar to a paste with cold
water and pepper.

5. Heat oil. Add garlic-black bean mixture and stir-fry 1/2 minute. Add
pork and stir-fry until it loses its pinkness (about 2 minutes).

6. Add bitter melon and stir-fry to coat with oil (about 1 minute).

7. Stir in and heat stock quickly; then cook, covered, 2 minutes over
medium heat. Stir in cornstarch mixture to thicken. Serve at once.
