Fermented black bean pork rice

We have had many hard weeks. In the middle of all such busyness, I just can't bear to see hubby running around without the proper nourishment. Therefore, after his meeting, I make this dish. It's his favorite. He finishes 2/3 of it by himself!

Recipe: Fermented black bean pork rice (for 4)

Ingredients:
- 2 lbs lean pork chop, cut into 1.5" cubes
- 2 TB fermented black bean sauce
- 1-2 TB black soy sauce
- 2-3 TB xiaoxing cooking wine
- 3 cloves garlic freshly chopped
- 1 stock green onions
- 1 cup jasmine rice, washed
- 2 TB water, just enough to cover the bottom
- 2 TB oil
- 2 tp sesame oil

Procedure
1. Marinate pork with black bean sauce, soy sauce, cooking wine, oil and garlic. Let sit for 30 minutes.
2. Spread raw jasmine rice on the bottom of a 8x8 glass pan. Add just enough water to half cover the rice.
3. Spread pork on top, uniformly on the rice.
4. Cover pan with foil and bake at 350F for about 1 hour. After the first 40 minutes, turn pork to make sure thorough cooking at the center of pan.
