Equipment
- 1 wok
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork thinly sliced or cut into small pieces
- 1 lb green beans trimmed and washed
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 splash soy sauce
- 1 splash white wine optional, but adds great flavor
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil for stir-frying
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Wash and trim the green beans. Slice the pork into thin, bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic. Set aside your soy sauce and white wine so they’re ready to use.
- Season the Pork: In a bowl, toss the sliced pork with a bit of salt, pepper, and cooking oil. This helps the pork stay tender and flavorful while cooking.
- Cook the Pork and Garlic: Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook for 3–4 minutes, until it’s browned and no longer pink. Add the minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Add the Sauces and Green Beans: Pour in the white wine and soy sauce, stirring to deglaze the pan. Let it simmer briefly, then add the green beans. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until the beans begin to soften. Season with a bit more salt if needed, and add a splash of water if the pan becomes too dry.
- Finish and Serve: Mix everything well and cook for 1 more minute to bring the flavors together. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with rice or noodles.

Notes
- Use fresh green beans if you can. Frozen ones work too—just cook them a little longer.
- No white wine? You can skip it or use a splash of chicken broth or water.
- Like it spicy? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or sliced chili while cooking the garlic.
