PORK AND GREEN BEAN STIR-FRY WITH PEANUTS

Pork and Green Bean Stir-Fry With Peanuts image

This recipe was taken from Bon Appetit magazine a few years back. You can also make this using chicken breast. If you prefer a thicker sauce texture then add in more cornstarch. To save time chop, blanch/cook the beans and carrot sticks hours in advance. Cooking time is for wok cooking time.

This was a good recipe. The pork was tender and the green beans were still slightly crunchy. The sauce was also delicious.
