Pork and Green Bean Stir-Fry With Peanuts image

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.

The pork was a little tough, but the green beans were perfect. I will try it again with a different cut of pork.

This recipe was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I will try it again with less chili sauce.
