Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 300g long beans, trimmed
- 200g ground pork
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Wash and trim the long beans, cutting them into 2-inch segments. Pat the beans dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix ground pork with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Allow the meat to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of cooking oil and spread the marinated ground pork evenly. Cook the pork until it's fully browned and slightly crispy, breaking it into small crumbles.
- Remove the cooked pork from the wok and set aside. In the same wok, add the long beans and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften but remain slightly crisp.
- Return the cooked pork to the wok with the beans. Add remaining soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil. Stir-fry everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. The dish should have a balance of savory, tangy, and slightly spicy flavors.
- Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with additional chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or with steamed rice.
