Ingredients
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons rice wine
- 0.25 teaspoon Peppercorns freshly ground
- 0.25 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon spicy garlic black bean sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 0.5 tablespoon garlic chili sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed & cut in half
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled & minced
- 4 slices green onions
- 0.25 cup white sesame seeds, lightly toasted
Instructions
- In a small bowl toss the pork with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice wine and the ground pepper. Marinate at room temperature while assembling the rest of the ingredients.
- In a separate bowl combine the remaining tablespoon of rice wine, the stock, spicy bean sauce, hoisin, chili garlic sauce, sugar, sesame oil and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the oil.
- When the oil is hot add the beans and stir fry them for 10 minutes, or until they begin to brown and blister. Remove the beans from the pan using a slotted spoon and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the oil. Return the pan to the heat and add the pork, garlic and ginger. Stir fry for about 3 minutes, or until there is no longer any pink color to the pork. Add the green onions and cook 1 minute. Add the reserved sauce and green beans and mix well. The sauce will begin to thicken and glaze the pork and beans.
- To serve, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve with steamed rice or pan fried noodles.
