Black bean paste pork with bok choy and rice

I took some of the pork i had marinated in Chinese bbq marinade and added just salt pepper and black bean paste. The lack of different seasonings come from the philosophy of Cantonese cooking, the best tastes usually have really simple flavors in the dishes. And being from a cantonese background I try to apply this in my cooking. This is the result.
This is the delicious result. In between the pork and rice is stir fried bok choy, I just washed the bok choy and  mixed it in with the left over bean paste, then stir fried them. The taste is quite complex for something that is made up of simple ingredients and it has a big depth of flavor. Hopefully i can keep cooking these different foods I would like to try cooking szechuan style foods. Look forward to new dishes!
