How to Make Stir-Fried Shredded Pork with Beans

Stir-fried shredded pork with beans is a quick, flavorful dish loved for its tender meat and crisp beans. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: 200g pork tenderloin (shredded), 300g beans (cut into 3cm pieces), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp cooking oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Marinate shredded pork with 1 tsp soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and pepper for 10 minutes. Blanch beans in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.

2. Cook the pork: Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry pork until golden, then remove and set aside.

3. Stir-fry the beans: Add more oil if needed. Sauté garlic until fragrant, then toss in the blanched beans. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes.

4. Combine and season: Return pork to the wok. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a pinch of sugar. Mix well and cook for another minute until everything is heated through.

Tips: For extra flavor, a dash of sesame oil or chili flakes can be added. Serve hot with steamed rice. This dish balances savory and fresh tastes, making it a perfect weekday meal!
