Husband said he wanted to eat some oily and watery dishes. I remembered that my brother gave a large bag of dried cowpeas before he had time to eat them. So he thought of making a dried cowpea roasted meat.
The dried cowpea absorbs the meat and tastes better than the meat. The meat is crispy but not rotten and not fatty. In the end, even the soup is mixed with rice, there is nothing left~~"

Tips:
Dried cowpeas should be soaked in warm water in advance, then cut into small pieces, and stewed with the meat. It tastes better. Add enough water for the stew, because you need to add the beans and stew together, which requires a lot of water to prevent dry pots.
