How to Make Stir-Fried Green Beans with Pork

Stir-fried green beans with pork is a quick, delicious dish that balances crisp, tender green beans with savory, flavorful pork. Here’s a simple yet authentic recipe to recreate it at home.

Ingredients:

- 200g fresh green beans, trimmed and blanched for 2 minutes (to retain color and crunch)

- 150g pork loin, thinly sliced and marinated in 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, and a pinch of pepper for 10 minutes

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- Seasonings: 1 tbsp soy sauce, ½ tsp sugar, ½ tsp sesame oil, and a pinch of salt.

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Blanch green beans in boiling water, then drain and set aside. Marinate pork as above.

2. Stir-fry pork: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add pork slices and stir-fry until lightly browned (about 2 minutes). Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté aromatics: In the same wok, add garlic and stir-fry until fragrant (10-15 seconds).

4. Combine and season: Return pork to the wok, add blanched green beans, and toss quickly. Drizzle with soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Stir-fry for 1 minute until well-coated. Adjust salt to taste.

5. Serve: Dish out hot and garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
