Szechuan Green Beans with Ground Pork
Source of Recipe
I adapted this from a Cooking Light recipe
Recipe Introduction
I make this a lot because the whole family likes it. I like to serve it w/frozen pork egg rolls w/hot mustard and frozen cream cheese wontons with duck sauce. So easy!
List of Ingredients
1 pound lean ground pork
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoon or so peanut oil or canola oil
2 teaspoons or so of crushed fresh garlic
16 oz. bag of cut green beans, thawed in the microwave and drained (original recipe called for 5 cups (1-inch) cut fresh green beans)
1/2 cup hoisin sauce (the brand I buy is Ty Ling)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, approx., add more or less to taste (original recipe called for a lot more)
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
hot cooked white rice for 4 (I make basmati or Texmati rice)
extra low-sodium soy sauce and salted peanuts, for serving (optional)Recipe
Combine the first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pork mixture and garlic; cook 3 minutes or until pork loses its pink color, stirring to crumble. (drain any fat, if there is any)
Add green beans and heat through.
Combine hoisin and next 3 ingredients (through soy sauce) in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
Add hoisin mixture to pan. Cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently.
Serve over rice. Serve w/extra soy sauce and peanuts, if desired.
Serves 4-5
