I've modified this dish to make a MaPau Pork/Tofu dish which I loved from restaurants in Singapore. Came out well. Doubled quantity of black bean sauce, used beer instead of sherry, added an equal amount of Japanese Rice Wine, used one regular minced onion, some mushrooms and voila! It was awesome.

If you want this more flavorful, marinate the pork first with rice wine, white pepper, corn starch and tiny bit of soy sauce. You can also combine sweet bean sauce with spicy bean sauce.

I really enjoyed the simplicity of this dish. I couldn't find spicy bean sauce, so I used garlic bean sauce and lots of crushed red pepper.

My husband and I went very impressed by this dish. It did not taste bad but there wasn't anything in it to really make it stand out. My husband added some chinese five spice to his portion and he said it helped. We won't make this recipe agian mainly because we like our food to be very falvorful and this just wasn't there.
