I didn’t know that but I cooked the recipe with green jalapeño with seeds and I liked it a lot.

A Fresno is a ripe (red) jalapeño.

So happy to hear you like the recipe and thank you for leaving a positive review! Yes, I do think this is a great one to clean out the leftover stuff from the fridge. The sauce goes well with many types of vegetables and protein.

The sauce and aromatics are fantastic, with good spice balance and depth of flavour. It’s well worth hunting down proper fermented black beans and good quality Shoaxing wine for this — totally worth the effort.

That sounds great! I think seeded jalapeno’s heat level works very well and bell pepper for added veggie. I hope you enjoy the dish!
