JUMP TO RECIPE

Ground Pork Green Bean Stir Fry

This stir-fry dish is a product of my attempt at making a Chinese-Szechuan inspired dish called minced/ ground pork with chili bean sauce. Its popular variation, which you're probably more familiar with, is Mapo tofu.

OMG! I love that stuff! It's spicy, salty and pungent. It never fails to make me wipe out two cups of rice 🙂

Chili bean sauce is widely available here in Singapore but not in the Philippines, as far as I'm aware. So if you are craving for a Mapo Tofu kind-of flavor and don't have Chili Bean paste at hand then this recipe might be for you. It's a milder version of it of course with an option of making it really spicy.

Ingredients
 

  • cooking oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 4 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 tomato (chopped)
  • 200 grams ground pork
  • 300 grams fresh green beans (ends trimmed, cut into two equal pieces)
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 piece red chili (optional)

Sauce

  • 3 teaspoons shrimp paste (bagoong-alamang, I love barrio fiesta)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sweet chili sauce (I used Thai chili sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon white vinegar

Instructions

  • Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl. Whisk until sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add garlic and onion. Tossed until softened, about two minutes.
  • Add pork. Cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Stir-in tomatoes and chili (if using); continue cooking until softened. Reduce heat to medium, pour sauce and simmer for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour water. Simmer for 5 minutes until meat is soft and moist. Add green beans. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until beans are tender-crisp. Serve with warm rice. Enjoy!
