  • 1 piece large ginger, smashed
  • 4 tablespoons black beans
  • 3/4 cup Filipino Style Tomato Sauce

Set C:

  • 1 small can pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 2 pieces red bell peppers, cut into strips

 Chef Tatung’s Tip:

  • If beef tail or trotters is not available, you can also use the combination of ox skin and beef ribs in this recipe
