Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds pork sirloin chops or pork blade steaks, bones removed
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed
Zest of 1 lemon, removed in wide strips with a vegetable peeler
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound haricots verts, trimmed and halved
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
Chopped fresh cilantro and/or mint, for topping

Add half the pork and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a large bowl; repeat with the remaining pork.
  • Add another 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet over medium heat. Add the haricots verts, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/3 cup water; cook, stirring, until the water evaporates and the haricots verts start browning, about 6 minutes. Add to the pork.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the garlic, jalapeno and ginger to the skillet and cook, stirring, until golden, 1 minute. Add the brown sugar, fish sauce and 1/4 cup water; cook until the sauce is thick and bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes.

PORK AND GREEN BEAN STIR-FRY



Pork and Green Bean Stir-Fry image

A picture tells a thousand words and the photograph of this recipe in Southern Living Magazine looks wonderful. Feel free to sub strips of red bell peppers in place of the hot chiles. **The key to this dish is developing a nice char on the green beans. To do so, heat the oil in your skillet until it almost smokes before adding the beans. Let them sear, stirring every 20 - 30 seconds, and they'll take on color.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs ground pork
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne or you could use red pepper flakes which I prefer)
8 ounces French haricots vert (thin green beans)
1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
3/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1/2 teaspoon fresh lime zest, loosely packed
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
rice, cooked
red jalapeno chile, thinly sliced for garnish (or red bell pepper strips)
lime, halves (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Brown ground pork and next 3 ingredients in a large stainless steel skillet over medium high heat, stirring often, 7 - 8 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink; drain. Wipe skillet clean.
  • Cook green beans in hot oil in skillet over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, 4 -5 minutes or until just tender and slightly charred.
  • Stir together teriyake sauce and next 2 ingredients. Stir pork mixture into green beans. Stir in teriyaki mixture, tossing to coat. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
  • Note: Southern Living used a Kikkoman Triple Ginger Takumi Collection Teriyaki Sauce, but regular will do just fine.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut pork strips or thinly slice your own pork loin or tenderloin against the grain.
  • Use a large wok or skillet to ensure even cooking and to prevent overcrowding, which can lead to steamed rather than stir-fried vegetables.
  • Make sure your wok or skillet is very hot before adding the oil and pork. This will help sear the meat and prevent it from sticking.
  • Stir-fry the pork in small batches, removing it from the wok or skillet once it is cooked through. This will help prevent the meat from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Use a variety of colorful vegetables to make your stir-fry more visually appealing and nutrient-rich. Some good options include green beans, bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, and snap peas.
  • Add a flavorful sauce to your stir-fry to enhance the taste. Some good options include soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sweet and sour sauce.
  • Serve your stir-fry over rice, noodles, or quinoa for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Pork and green bean stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and healthy stir-fry on the table in no time.
