Bean stew

Overview

The Northwest Pork Dark Meat Stew is a classic that has been eaten since childhood. It’s a must-eat when you’re homesick, and you crave it most when you’re particularly hungry. Comprehensive nutrition, suitable for all seasons. In the hot summer, it doesn’t have to be so troublesome to make. This is a simplified version of my own, Bean Stew. It’s also very good!
