1. Prepare the ingredients first and chop the pork. If you like meat, you can cut the meat into cubes. If you like a stronger flavor, you can add some pork fat, but I don’t like fat, so I didn’t put it in. Just chop the shrimps with a knife. If they are small shrimps, you don’t need to chop them. Cut the green onion into small pieces and mince the ginger;

2. Heat the pan and add oil. Add more oil to prevent it from sticking. When the oil is 40% hot, add the chopped green onion and ginger and slowly stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the shrimps and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the minced meat and continue stir-frying. It is best to stir-fry the meat until it is crispy and fragrant. Finally, add the soy sauce and continue stir-frying. Remember, always use medium or low heat when frying the sauce so that it won’t get burnt. Keep stirring while frying until the sauce turns bright red.

2. Prepare some pebbles

You may need a lot of large pebbles for pressing vegetables, depending on the size of the container you use. Just press the beans completely. Clean carefully before use. Otherwise the beans will be dirty.

3. Prepare enough salt

In the past, conditions were poor and we used coarse salt. Nowadays, iodized salt is used. The amount used is about 15% salt based on the weight of the cowpeas.

4. Prepare the cowpeas

Cowpea (string bean). People in the north may call it long beans. Wash clean and dry. It would be better if you could add some chili.

5. Put the cowpeas into the water tank

When placing them, put them layer by layer. After putting in a layer of cowpeas, sprinkle a layer of salt. And so on. After putting everything in, press the pebbles on top of the beans. Then add clean water. The water should just cover the beans. At this time, you can check to see if any beans are floating. Try to press it down with small stones. Finally, cover the water tank with wooden boards. After about two weeks, you can eat the salted beans.
