very hot and begin to color just a bit on the edges. Remove to the serving
platter and set aside. Heat the wok again and add 3 T of the peanut oil
along with the garlic and ginger. Chow for a moment and add the rinsed
black beans and the sherry. In this chow the onion and green pepper, just

wok and toss with the meat until hot. Add the bean sprouts, toss just a
