Hoisin Pork and Green Bean Stir Fry
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 cup of green beans, trimmed and halved (or use frozen and microwave as I did)
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
pinch of cayenne pepper
1 tsp vegetable or canola oil
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/2 tsp peeled, grated fresh ginger
1 large clove of minced garlic
1/2 lb. ground pork
1 tsp dark sesame oil
salt and peper to taste
cooked rice
Cook green beans in boiling water 5 minutes, and drain unless using frozen beans then follow their directions. Mix 1/4 cup water, hoisin, cornstarch, and cayenne pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions, ginger and garlic; sauté about 30 seconds. Brown the pork then add the hoisin mixture and beans. Cook for about a minute. Stir in sesame oil, salt and pepper. Serve with rice.
