Stir-fried green beans with minced pork
Country: Hong KongCourse: Side
Makes: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 12 oz green beans, trimmed
- 1 stalk salted mustard greens*
- 3 1/2 oz ground pork
- 2 tsp light soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp corn starch
- 1 tbsp water
- pepper to taste
- Sugar to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp Ground Bean Sauce
- 1 tsp Chili Bean Sauce
- 1 tsp XO Sauce
- 1/3 tsp salt
Directions:
- Soak the salted mustard greens in cold water for 20 minutes or so, then rinse and squeeze to remove excess moisture. Chop roughly and set aside.
- Mix the soy sauce, sugar, corn starch, water and pepper together and then pour over the pork. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat about an inch of cooking oil in a medium sized pan until bubbles rise around the end of a wooden spoon. Now add the green beans and fry for three minutes or so, or until bright green and just starting to soften. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Remove all but a tablespoon of the oil from the pan and add the pork. Stir until cooked all the way through, then remove to a plate and set aside. Add a little more oil to the pan and cook the garlic until aromatic. Add the mustard greens, sugar to taste and stir fry for a minute or so. Then return the pork and green beans to the pan. Add the ground bean sauce, chili bean sauce and salt to taste. Sprinkle with a little bit of wine and then stir in the XO sauce. Serve hot.
