Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
¼ cup chicken stock
2 Tbsp. black vinegar
2 Tbsp. dark soy sauce
1 tsp. tomato paste
1 tsp. cornstarch
½ tsp. sugar
1 lb. green beans, trimmed
2 Tbsp. canola oil, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup minced celery
3 Tbsp. minced scallions
2 Tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
1 lb. ground pork
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, black vinegar, soy sauce, tomato paste, cornstarch and sugar. Set aside.
Heat a wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon canola oil. When oil is very hot, add the green beans and stir fry until they begin to char and blister, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the wok and heat until very hot. Add the garlic, celery, scallions, and ginger and stir fry for about 2 minutes. Add pork and cook until pork is opaque, about 3 minutes. Break up pork with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Add beans and sauce to the pan. Stir fry until sauce thickens and beans are heated through, about 2 minutes.
Serve with steamed white rice and sriracha or chili garlic paste, if desired.
