Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil

200g green beans, trimmed and cut into 3 lengths

200g pork mince

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 red chillies, finely chopped (optional), plus extra, thinly sliced, to serve

2 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp oyster sauce

1 Tbsp dark soy sauce

1/2 tsp caster sugar

1/4 tsp ground white pepper (optional)

1/4 cup water or stock

Coriander leaves, to serve (optional)

Method

Step 1

Heat half the oil in a wok on medium heat. Add beans. Stir-fry for 3–5 minutes, or until they start to soften and blister slightly. Remove from wok and set aside.

Step 2

Increase heat to medium-high. Add remaining oil and pork to the wok. Cook the pork, breaking up any clumps, until it is browned.

Step 3

Add onion, garlic and chillies. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes or until fragrant. Reduce heat to medium. Add the sauces, sugar and pepper. Stir well to coat the pork.

Step 4

Return beans to wok and add water or stock. Simmer for 1–2 minutes or until beans are tender but crisp. To serve, scatter with coriander leaves.
