Ingredients

300g / 10oz green beans (Note 1)

220g / 7 oz pork mince (Note 2)

1/2 small onion (, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)

2 garlic cloves (, finely chopped (Note 3)

2 tsp ginger (, finely chopped (Note 3)

2 1/2 tbsp peanut oil (or vegetable or canola)

1 tbsp dark soy sauce (Note 4)

1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (shaoxing wine) (Note 5 for subs)

1 tsp white sugar (sub any sugar or faux sugar)

1 1/2 tsp + Chilli Garlic Sauce (Note 6)

Rice of choice

Sliced red chilli

Directions

Sauce - Mix Sauce ingredients in a bowl.

Trim the stem end of the beans, then chop into 2 - 2.5cm / 4/5 - 1" pieces.

Char 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.

Sauté aromatics - 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.

Cook pork - 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)
