Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 ounces ground pork ((225g, can substitute ground chicken or beef))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons ginger ((minced))
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons oil ((divided))
1 pound green beans ((450g, chopped to ½-inch pieces))
2 tablespoons garlic ((minced))
1/2 red bell pepper ((diced finely))
4 red chilies ((chopped, optional))
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt ((a pinch, or to taste))
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Combine the ground meat with all the marinade ingredients. Stir until any standing liquid has been absorbed by the meat. Marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the chopped green beans. Stir and spread the beans into a single layer. Cook for 30 seconds. Then stir and repeat the spreading step several times until the green beans are slightly charred, wilted, and cooked through. Turn the heat lower if needed to avoid burning. It takes about 5-8 minutes to cook the green beans this way. (To speed up the cooking, add a few drops of water each you stir, to create some steam.) Transfer the cooked green beans to a dish and set aside.
  • Now add 1 tablespoon oil to the wok, with the heat turned up to high. Add the ground meat and brown it. Don't stir too much; give the meat a chance to brown and crisp. Once the meat has browned, reduce the heat to medium.
  • Next, add the garlic, bell pepper and chilies. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add in the cooked green beans, ¼ teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper, a pinch of salt (to taste), and 2 tablespoons water. With the heat all the way up on high, stir-fry for a final 10-15 seconds and serve.

Categories     Stir Fry

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 oz / 300 g green beans ((Note 1a))
7 oz / 220 g pork mince ((Note 1b))
1/2 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 tsp finely chopped garlic (2 cloves) ((Note 2))
2 tsp ginger, finely chopped ((Note 2))
2 1/2 tbsp peanut oil (or vegetable or canola)
1 tbsp dark soy sauce (Note 3)
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (Note 4 for subs)
1 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp + Chilli Garlic Sauce (Note 5)

Steps:

  • Mix Sauce ingredients in a bowl.
  • Trim the tough end of the beans, then chop into 2 - 2.5cm / 4/5 - 1" pieces.
  • Charred Beans: Heat 1 1/2 tbsp oil in a heavy based skillet over high heat (I use cast iron) until smoking. Add beans, spread out to cover base. Leave for 1 minute. Quick stir, spread out, cook for 30 seconds. Stir, then leave for 30 seconds, then repeat once more (so 2 1/2 minutes in total cook time) until beans are charred but tender crisp (not withered and floppy). Remove into bowl.
  • Turn heat down to medium high, add 1 tbsp oil. Add onion, then garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute until edges of onion are golden.
  • Turn heat back up to high. Add pork and cook, breaking it up as you go. Cook for 2 minutes until the pork is cooked through, then add Sauce. Cook for 30 seconds, then add beans and stir for another 30 seconds.
  • Serve over rice. Garnish with slices of large red chilli (it's mild), entirely optional. To eat, mix the pork into the rice then eat it with a spoon - forget chopsticks for this one! (For a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice)

STIR-FRIED GREEN BEANS WITH PORK AND CHILES



Stir-Fried Green Beans With Pork and Chiles image

In this fast, piquant weeknight meal, ground pork and green beans are stir-fried with plenty of ginger, garlic and chiles, and seasoned with soy sauce and coriander seeds. A big splash of rice-wine vinegar right at the end adds a hit of acidity, which balances the pork's richness. Serve this over rice or rice noodles to help absorb all the salty, spicy sauce. Slices of fresh tomato add a sweet juiciness that works well here. But if you don't have a ripe tomato, feel free to leave it out.

FIVE-SPICE PORK AND GREEN BEAN STIR-FRY



Five-Spice Pork and Green Bean Stir-Fry image

Categories     Herb     Pork     Vegetable     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

a 3/4-pound piece well-trimmed boneless pork loin
For sauce
3 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh gingerroot
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup mango chutney such as Major Grey's
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek (Indonesian chili paste)
1 medium red onion
1/2 pound fresh green beans
a 3/4-pound piece green cabbage (about 1/2 medium head)
1/4 cup packed coriander leaves
4 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 pound fresh bean sprouts (about 2 cups)
1 cup snow-pea shoots or daikon (Asian radish) sprouts
2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
Accompaniment:Cooked Rice

Steps:

  • Freeze pork, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, 30 minutes, to facilitate slicing. Cut pork crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices and season with salt and pepper.
  • Make sauce:
  • Mince garlic and in a small bowl stir together with remaining sauce ingredients until combined.
  • Halve onion lengthwise and cut into thin slices. Diagonally cut beans into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Core cabbage and cut into 1-inch pieces. Chop coriander.
  • Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat until a bead of water dropped on cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil, swirling wok or skillet to coat evenly, and heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion and stir-fry until slightly softened. Add beans and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil to wok or skillet and stir-fry cabbage until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add bean sprouts and stir-fry until sprouts are slightly wilted, about 30 seconds. Transfer cabbage mixture to bowl.
  • Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil to wok or skillet and heat until just smoking. Stir-fry half of pork, separating slices, until browned and transfer to bowl. Add remaining tablespoon peanut oil and stir-fry remaining pork, transferring to bowl.
  • Add sauce to wok or skillet and bring to a boil, stirring. Return pork-vegetable mixture to wok or skillet and stir-fry until heated through. Stir in coriander, snow-pea shoots or daikon sprouts, sesame oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve stir-fry over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork tenderloin or pork loin are ideal for stir-frying as they are both lean and tender.
  • Slice the pork thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Marinate the pork: A simple marinade of soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil will help tenderize the pork and add flavor.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help sear the pork and prevent it from sticking.
  • Stir-fry the pork in batches: If you overcrowd the wok or skillet, the pork will steam instead of fry.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • Use a sauce or glaze to finish the stir-fry: This will add extra flavor and moisture.
  • Serve the stir-fry with rice or noodles: This will make a complete and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

Pork stir-fry with green beans and peanuts is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use up leftover pork, and it is also a healthy and affordable option. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying stir-fry that your whole family will love.
