Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 oz / 300 g green beans ((Note 1a))
7 oz / 220 g pork mince ((Note 1b))
1/2 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 tsp finely chopped garlic (2 cloves) ((Note 2))
2 tsp ginger, finely chopped ((Note 2))
2 1/2 tbsp peanut oil (or vegetable or canola)
1 tbsp dark soy sauce (Note 3)
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (Note 4 for subs)
1 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp + Chilli Garlic Sauce (Note 5)

Steps:

  • Mix Sauce ingredients in a bowl.
  • Trim the tough end of the beans, then chop into 2 - 2.5cm / 4/5 - 1" pieces.
  • Charred Beans: Heat 1 1/2 tbsp oil in a heavy based skillet over high heat (I use cast iron) until smoking. Add beans, spread out to cover base. Leave for 1 minute. Quick stir, spread out, cook for 30 seconds. Stir, then leave for 30 seconds, then repeat once more (so 2 1/2 minutes in total cook time) until beans are charred but tender crisp (not withered and floppy). Remove into bowl.
  • Turn heat down to medium high, add 1 tbsp oil. Add onion, then garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute until edges of onion are golden.
  • Turn heat back up to high. Add pork and cook, breaking it up as you go. Cook for 2 minutes until the pork is cooked through, then add Sauce. Cook for 30 seconds, then add beans and stir for another 30 seconds.
  • Serve over rice. Garnish with slices of large red chilli (it's mild), entirely optional. To eat, mix the pork into the rice then eat it with a spoon - forget chopsticks for this one! (For a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice)

SZECHUAN GREEN BEANS WITH GROUND PORK



Szechuan Green Beans With Ground Pork image

This is a bit spicy so you may want to decrease the pepper flakes and add more at the end for taste. I made this for a pot-luck Chinese dinner that is why the serving size is for 8. Can be cut in half. Delicious over Chinese white rice.

CHINESE GROUND PORK AND GREEN BEANS



Chinese Ground Pork and Green Beans image

This is one of my three favorite Chinese dishes. Equally good with ground beef. In this day and age, I expect some people to dry fry the green beans in a hot skillet, but deep frying them quickly doesn't add much if any oil and it draws out the moisture nicely. Another possibility would be to toss the trimmed green beans with a tablespoon of peanut oil and roast at 500 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes. The idea is to get moisture out of the beans so they will absorb the sauce. Prepare ingredients ahead of time and this will come together quickly. To tell the truth, I double or triple the garlic, scallions and ginger, and use half to 3/4 teaspoon hot bean paste, but this is more or less the original recipe. Feel free to adapt to your taste. I like spicy but not hot. The prep time does not include mincing, chopping, trimming the vegetables.

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2-1 lb ground pork
2 tablespoons oil (I use peanut oil)
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 -3 scallions, chopped in small pieces
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger (peeled)
1 lb green beans (room temperature)
1/4 cup chicken stock or 1/4 cup broth
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 cups oil, for deep frying
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon hot bean paste
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry

Steps:

  • Trim the green beans. Heat oil for deep frying to 375 degrees. Deep fry green beans for 1-2 minutes, until wrinkled. You may want to do this in batches to prevent the oil temperature from dropping. Drain on paper towels. You may do this step ahead of time and refrigerate but be sure to bring the green beans back to room temperature before proceeding.
  • Mix sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Heat wok or skillet over medium high to high heat, add 2 T oil, swirl to cover the surface and heat a few seconds. Turn heat to medium and put in the garlic, scallions and ginger and stir fry a minute or two.
  • Turn heat back up to medium high; crumble ground pork into the seasonings in the wok and stir fry, breaking up large lumps, until the meat no longer is pink.
  • Pour the sauce over the meat and stir quickly a few times to season evenly. Add the 1/4 cup of broth, even out the meat, cover and let it steam-cook vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes. (I set the lid ajar so the sauce will cook down a bit).
  • Turn heat high, add the green beans and toss and stir until the sauce thoroughly coats the beans and the meat clings nicely to them.
  • Splash in the 1 t cider vinegar and 1 t sesame oil, give the contents a good fast turn or two and serve over rice.

STIR-FRIED GREEN BEANS WITH PORK



Stir-fried Green Beans with Pork image

This Chinese green bean stir-fry may seem simple, but it's truly delicious! We wok sear the green beans for flavor and stir-fry with crispy ground pork.

Provided by Judy

Categories     Vegetables

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 ounces ground pork ((225g, can substitute ground chicken or beef))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons ginger ((minced))
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons oil ((divided))
1 pound green beans ((450g, chopped to ½-inch pieces))
2 tablespoons garlic ((minced))
1/2 red bell pepper ((diced finely))
4 red chilies ((chopped, optional))
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt ((a pinch, or to taste))
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Combine the ground meat with all the marinade ingredients. Stir until any standing liquid has been absorbed by the meat. Marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the chopped green beans. Stir and spread the beans into a single layer. Cook for 30 seconds. Then stir and repeat the spreading step several times until the green beans are slightly charred, wilted, and cooked through. Turn the heat lower if needed to avoid burning. It takes about 5-8 minutes to cook the green beans this way. (To speed up the cooking, add a few drops of water each you stir, to create some steam.) Transfer the cooked green beans to a dish and set aside.
  • Now add 1 tablespoon oil to the wok, with the heat turned up to high. Add the ground meat and brown it. Don't stir too much; give the meat a chance to brown and crisp. Once the meat has browned, reduce the heat to medium.
  • Next, add the garlic, bell pepper and chilies. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add in the cooked green beans, ¼ teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper, a pinch of salt (to taste), and 2 tablespoons water. With the heat all the way up on high, stir-fry for a final 10-15 seconds and serve.

STIR-FRIED GREEN BEANS WITH PORK AND CHILES



Stir-Fried Green Beans With Pork and Chiles image

In this fast, piquant weeknight meal, ground pork and green beans are stir-fried with plenty of ginger, garlic and chiles, and seasoned with soy sauce and coriander seeds. A big splash of rice-wine vinegar right at the end adds a hit of acidity, which balances the pork's richness. Serve this over rice or rice noodles to help absorb all the salty, spicy sauce. Slices of fresh tomato add a sweet juiciness that works well here. But if you don't have a ripe tomato, feel free to leave it out.
