Asian Green Beans and Pork
— -- Sara Moulton always loved the original version of this Chinese dish. The only problem was that the fried green beans added a lot of fat. In her recipe for Asian Green Beans and Pork from "Sara's Secrets for Weeknight Meals," Moulton lightens the dish by broiling the green beans. The results are delicious, caramelized beans that won't clog your arteries. The meal is a favorite among the children of the Moulton household.
