Recipe: Emeril's Spicy Pork Stir-Fry With Green Beans

Ingredients

Cooking Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, the white pepper, and the ground pork. Mix well to combine, and then set aside.

Make the sauce by combining the chicken stock, hoisin sauce, crushed red pepper, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce in a bowl. Set aside.

Heat a wok or saute pan over high heat until hot. Add the peanut oil, and when the oil is smoking, add

the green beans and cook, stirring frequently, until they are slightly wrinkled, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a

slotted spoon, transfer the beans to a paper towel-lined plate, and set aside.

Add the garlic to the wok and cook briefly until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add the ground pork and

stir-fry until it is no longer pink, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir the sauce mixture, add it to the wok, and stir to

combine. Bring the liquid to a boil and cook until it begins to thicken, about 45 seconds.

Return the green beans to the wok and drizzle with the sesame oil. Cook briefly until warmed

through. Then serve immediately, over hot rice if desired.
