Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds pork sirloin chops or pork blade steaks, bones removed
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed
Zest of 1 lemon, removed in wide strips with a vegetable peeler
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound haricots verts, trimmed and halved
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 red jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
Chopped fresh cilantro and/or mint, for topping

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.

This stir-fry was easy to make and so flavorful. I used a flank steak instead of pork and it turned out great. The green beans were still slightly crunchy and the sauce was delicious. I served it over rice and it was a perfect meal.

Just tried this recipe and it was amazing! The pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender and the green beans were perfectly crisp. The sauce was a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory. Will definitely be making this again!

Made this stir-fry last night and it was delicious! I added some extra vegetables, like broccoli and carrots, and it was a great way to get my kids to eat their veggies. The sauce was flavorful and the pork was cooked perfectly. Will definitely make
