Fusion with Angel Hair Pasta

Prawn and Zucchini with Angel Hair Pasta in Black Bean Sauce


Fermented black bean is one of the usual ingredients that is found in the chinese kitchen. When I was a child, we had this dish being prepared for the dinning table. All of us love it without a question. Having an additional bowl of rice is not common as the gravy of this black bean sauce is awesome delicious, something that I can't avoid myself. or is it mummy's cooking that most of us can't resist?
