How to Make Shredded Pork with Green Beans: A Complete Guide

Shredded pork with green beans is a beloved stir-fry known for its vibrant colors and savory flavors. Here’s a step-by-step guide to mastering this dish.

Ingredients:

200g pork loin, thinly shredded; 300g green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp ginger, grated; 1 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tsp oyster sauce; 1/2 tsp sugar; 1 tbsp cooking oil; Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions:

1. Marinate the pork: In a bowl, mix shredded pork with 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

2. Blanch the beans: Boil green beans in salted water for 2 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to retain color.

3. Stir-fry: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add marinated pork and stir-fry until no longer pink (2-3 minutes). Remove and set aside.

4. Sauté aromatics: In the same wok, stir-fry garlic and ginger until fragrant (30 seconds). Add blanched beans and cook for 1 minute.

5. Combine and season: Return pork to the wok. Add remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until well-coated.

Tips: For extra crunch, blanch beans briefly. Adjust seasoning to taste—some like a hint of chili for heat. Serve hot with steamed rice for a complete meal. Enjoy this quick, flavorful dish that’s perfect for any weeknight!
