Fried String Beans with Minced Pork






Ingredients
1 pack of string beans (washed and cut into strips of approx 2 inches)
$10 minced pork (around 1/3 cup)
1 tbs minced garlic
2 red chili (seeded and diced)


Marinade
2 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
some white pepper
1 tsp oil
2 tsp water
1 tsp cornstarch


Sauce
2 tbs chinese olives (see photo) 


Method
1. Marinade pork with 'marinade' ingredients for 30 mins.
2. Boil a big pot of water. Add the string beans and let boil for a few mins. Remove beans and put in a big pot of ice water (this process is to preserve the green colour of the beans).  Drain and set aside.
3. Heat wok with little oil. Add the minced garlic and fry until fragrant. Add the Chinese olives and minced pork. Fry for 5 mins. Add the string beans to the minced pork. Fry for another few mins until the beans are soft. Add the red chili and a little salt to taste. Serve.
