SPICY GREEN BEANS AND PORK, ASIAN STYLE
My favorite side dish to order in Chinese restaurants. A chef gave me the ingredients and the tip of blistering the green beans. After some trial and error, I came up with this. My family and friends now demand that it be on the menu for gatherings - even if it doesn't go with the course! Can be made in advance. The amount of heat is determined by the amount of chili garlic sauce used.

Steps:
- Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large wok or deep sided skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Carefully add the beans to the hot oil, and fry, stirring occasionally, until the beans are blistered, 3 to 5 minutes. Dip the beans out of the oil with a strainer, and quickly rinse them in cold water.
- Remove the oil from the wok, but do not wipe the pan. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the wok over medium heat, and stir in the garlic, ginger, and green onion. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in the ground pork. Cook and stir the pork, breaking it up as it cooks, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chili garlic sauce, chicken broth, and soy sauce, and bring to a boil.
- Mix the cornstarch with the water in a small bowl, stir into the pork mixture, and let simmer until the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently stir the green beans into the pork sauce, heat through, and serve.

WOK OR SKILLET ASIAN-STYLE FRESH GREEN BEANS
To save some time cook the green beans ahead, place in a zippered plastic bag and refrigerate until ready to use. Make certain to pat the green beans dry using a paper towel before sautéing them. If you like spicy like my family does add in 1-2 teaspoons dried chili flakes when sautéing the garlic. Just to let you know, I tried this recipe using Green Giant brand frozen whole beans and it was not as successful as using the fresh beans. Prep time does not include boiling the beans. This is a really great recipe for fresh summer green beans!

Steps:
- 1. To start, rinse and peel the carrots and trim the ends off the green beans. Then with the same peeler, continue to peel the carrot while rotating to create noodle looking carrot strings. --You won't use the whole carrot, just peel until it gets too small to make nice looking strings.
- 2. In a large saute pan, heat the butter and garlic on medium/high until it sizzles, then add the vegetables an- toss with tongs and cover.
- 3. After about 2 minutes, add about 5-10 grinds of fresh black pepper and a pinch of crushed pepper flakes and return the cover.
- 4. While waiting on the veggies, coat the Ahi steaks in sesame seeds and some pepper. Also heat a skillet to medium/high
- 5. After a few minutes more have gone by, add the teriyaki sauce and honey into the pan, toss and lower heat to medium.
- 6. Note: Depending on how crunchy you like your veggies, this side could be done right now. If you like them a little more soft then just cover for an additional 5-8 minutes on medium/low.
- 7. Place the Ahi steaks in the hot hot skillet and sear top and bottom for about 45 seconds to a minute. If the fish is very thick I like to sear the sides too.
- 8. With a very sharp knife, slice the Ahi to about 1/4 inch pieces and lay on top of the veggies to plate. Dish should be eaten right away
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans, where the stem was attached. You can also trim the strings from the beans, if desired.
- Blanch the green beans (optional): Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green. Drain the beans and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Cook the green beans: There are many different ways to cook green beans. You can stir-fry them, sauté them, roast them, or grill them. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.
- Season the green beans: Green beans are a versatile vegetable that can be seasoned with a variety of flavors. Some popular seasonings include garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper.
Conclusion:
Green beans are a healthy and delicious vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. With their mild flavor and versatility, green beans are a great addition to any meal. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy side dish or a flavorful main course, there's a green bean recipe out there for you.
