Stir-Fried Green Beans with Pork and Chinese Olive Vegetable

Ingredients

• 4 oz ground pork or chicken
• 1 tsp Shaoxing wine (for marinade)
• 1 tsp light soy sauce
• 1/8 tsp white pepper powder
• 2 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
• 1 lb green beans, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 tsp ginger, minced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup preserved olive vegetable
• 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
• 1/4 tsp sugar
• 6-7 dried chili peppers, deseeded and chopped (optional)
• 1/2 tsp sesame oil
• 1/4 tsp salt, or to taste

Instructions

1. Marinate the ground pork with 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine, 1 teaspoon light soy sauce, and a pinch of white pepper powder. Let sit for 15 minutes.
2. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil in your wok over medium heat. Add the green beans, stir-fry, and spread the beans out in a single layer. Let cook for 20 seconds, then stir and repeat the spreading step several times until the green beans are slightly wilted and cooked through. Turn the heat down to medium if needed to avoid burning. It takes about 5 minutes to cook the green beans this way. Transfer to a dish and set aside.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in your wok over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic. Stir for a few seconds, turn up the heat, and add the pork. Stir-fry the pork until cooked through.
4. Add the olive vegetable, Shaoxing wine, and sugar. Stir-fry everything to combine.
5. Add the green beans back to the wok along with the dried hot peppers and sesame oil. Stir for about a minute, salt to taste, and serve!
