I modified this recipe to be less oily. It is almost as good as take-out Chinese green beans. It tastes wonderful with ham and a baked yam.

Ingredients

1 lb pork tenderloin, frozen for 30 minutes, then thinly shaved with your sharpest knife
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine
1 teaspoon szechuan peppercorns or 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon spicy bean sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 (1 inch) knob fresh ginger, peeled and minced
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup toasted white sesame seeds

In a small bowl, toss the pork with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice wine, and the peppercorns. Marinate at room temperature while assembling the rest of the ingredients.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce, the remaining tablespoon of rice wine, the stock, spicy bean sauce, hoisin, chili garlic sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Set aside.

When the oil is hot, add the beans and stir-fry them for 10 minutes, or until they begin to brown and blister. Remove the beans from the pan using a slotted spoon and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the oil. Return the pan to the heat, and add the pork, garlic, and ginger.

The sauce will begin to thicken and glaze the pork and beans.
To serve, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Variation: Feel free to substitute chicken, beef or shrimp, or tofu for the pork.

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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as peanut, sunflower or grapeseed, plus more if needed
1 pound ground pork
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces green beans, cut into 1/2-inch lengths
2 red chiles, seeded or not, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, lightly cracked with a mortar and pestle or with the side of a knife
1/4 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar, plus more for serving
4 teaspoons soy sauce, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Cooked white rice or rice noodles, for serving
Sliced tomato, for serving (optional)

Steps:

Heat a 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat for 1 minute, then add the oil and let heat for another 30 seconds - it should be hot but not smoking. Stir in pork and 3/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until browned and crisp, 6 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Return pan to heat and add more oil if it looks dry. Stir in green beans, cook until they are crisp, tender and bright green, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir in chiles, ginger, garlic, coriander seeds and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
Return pork to skillet, along with chopped cilantro, vinegar, soy sauce and sugar. Stir briefly to combine, then scrape into a serving platter.
Sprinkle more vinegar and soy sauce on top to taste, then top with more chopped cilantro. Serve with rice, and sliced tomato, if you like.

Use a hot wok or skillet for stir-frying. This will help the vegetables cook quickly and evenly.

Serve the stir-fry immediately. This is when it is at its best.
