Mustard-Soy Braised Pork Chops With Celery image

This recipe has some esoteric ingredients, which I happened to have in my fridge. I collect condiments. It's sad, really. The salted black beans (soybeans) are optional. If you can't find the chili-garlic paste, mince two or three cloves of garlic together with about a teaspoon or so of crushed red pepper flakes. One might also use cabbage instead of celery.
