KHAO SOY

4-6 large tomatoes
1 pkg. thick rice noodles
1 lb. Ground pork

Chop the tomatoes, green onions/cilantro and mince the garlic. Sauté garlic in a wok until fragrant, add ground pork. When the pork is cooked, add the chopped tomatoes. Sauté for a few minutes then add the fermented beans and bring to a boil.

I want to make this, but where can I get fermented beans (what type of beans) or do I fermented myself?

Again, love the site, please add more recipes. I'm missing your nam and your dad's sour lefty plant.
