Steps:
- Put the pork in the freezer while you prepare the rice. Put the rice in a medium saucepan and add 2 cups water, the lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Stir, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.
- Meanwhile, cut the pork into 1 1/2-by-1/2-inch strips. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot. Add half the pork and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a large bowl; repeat with the remaining pork.
- Add another 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet over medium heat. Add the haricots verts, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/3 cup water; cook, stirring, until the water evaporates and the haricots verts start browning, about 6 minutes. Add to the pork.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the garlic, jalapeno and ginger to the skillet and cook, stirring, until golden, 1 minute. Add the brown sugar, fish sauce and 1/4 cup water; cook until the sauce is thick and bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pork and haricots verts to the sauce and toss until glazed, about 1 minute; season with salt. Serve the stir-fry with the rice; top with cilantro and/or mint.

PORK AND GREEN BEAN STIR-FRY WITH PEANUTS
This recipe was taken from Bon Appetit magazine a few years back. You can also make this using chicken breast. If you prefer a thicker sauce texture then add in more cornstarch. To save time chop, blanch/cook the beans and carrot sticks hours in advance. Cooking time is for wok cooking time.

PORK AND GREEN BEAN STIR-FRY
A picture tells a thousand words and the photograph of this recipe in Southern Living Magazine looks wonderful. Feel free to sub strips of red bell peppers in place of the hot chiles. **The key to this dish is developing a nice char on the green beans. To do so, heat the oil in your skillet until it almost smokes before adding the beans. Let them sear, stirring every 20 - 30 seconds, and they'll take on color.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your stir-fry. Look for pork that is free of hormones and antibiotics, and green beans that are crisp and tender.
- Cut your meat and vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. For pork, cut it into thin strips or small cubes. For green beans, trim the ends and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help prevent the food from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned wok or skillet, you can season it by heating it over medium-high heat and adding a tablespoon of oil. Swirl the oil around the pan until it coats the entire surface. Then, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool completely.
- Cook the meat and vegetables in batches: If you try to cook too much food at once, it will not cook evenly. Instead, cook the meat and vegetables in batches. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Use a high heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat. This helps to sear the meat and vegetables and give them a slightly smoky flavor.
- Stir the food constantly: Stirring the food constantly will help prevent it from burning and sticking to the pan.
Conclusion:
Pork and green bean stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and satisfying stir-fry on the table in no time.
