Spicy Green Beans



Spicy Green Beans

Ingredients

500g Long or Green Beans
100g Ground Pork
1 Packet (100g) Ya Chai (Sichuan Preserved Vegetables)
1 Tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Chili Oil With Sediment
Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Peanut Oil

Sea Salt to taste



Method



Remove any strings from the edges of the long/green beans and top and tail them. Break them into short sections (about 5cm long).

Heat 1 ½ Tbsp of oil in a wok over a low to medium heat. Add the long/green beans and stir-fry over a medium heat for about 6 minutes, or until they are cooked and tender, with slightly puckered skins. Remove and set aside.



Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in the wok over a high heat. The add the Ya Chai, ground pork, dark soy sauce, chili oil with sediment, and stir-fry until the meat are cooked and fragrant. Toss in the beans and stir and toss the ingredients together, adding pepper and sea salt to taste. Serve immediately.

  5. mmmmm.....too bad I'm allergic to pork. I guess ground chicken, diced mushrooms or vegetarian ground beef substitute could work!
