How to Make Delicious Braised Rice with Green Beans

Braised rice with green beans is a comforting, one-pot dish that combines tender beans, savory meat, and fluffy rice in a single pot. Here’s a simple yet flavorful recipe to guide you.

Ingredients: 2 cups rice, 200g green beans (trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces), 150g pork (thinly sliced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp cooking oil, and 2 cups water or broth.

Steps:

1. Prep: Rinse rice until water runs clear. Soak green beans in water for 10 minutes, then drain.

2. Sauté: Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Stir-fry garlic until fragrant, then add pork. Cook until browned.

3. Combine: Add green beans, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir for 1 minute.

4. Cook: Add rice and water/broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

5. Rest: Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork before serving.

Tips: For extra flavor, add diced carrots or mushrooms. Use chicken broth instead of water for richer taste. Enjoy this hearty meal with a side of pickled vegetables!
