Worked out from the ingredients.
Steps
- Step 1
Put the rinsed rice, water and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover, turn the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes. Take it off the heat and leave it covered until you're ready to serve, then fluff with a fork.
20 min
- 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
- 2 1/4 cups water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Step 2
While the rice cooks, stir the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, 1/4 cup water and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl until the cornstarch dissolves. Set it near the stove with the prepped ginger, garlic and green beans — once you start, it moves fast.
5 min
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until it shimmers. Add the green beans and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring only every 30 seconds or so, until they're blistered and browned in spots but still have snap, 4 to 5 minutes. Tip them onto a plate.
5 min
- 1 tbsp neutral oil, such as vegetable or peanut
- 1 lb green beans
- salt
- Step 4
Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the hot pan, then the ground pork. Press it into a flat layer and let it sear undisturbed until the underside is deeply browned, about 3 minutes. Break it into chunks and cook, stirring, until no pink remains, 3 to 4 minutes more.
7 min
- 1 tbsp neutral oil, such as vegetable or peanut
- 1 lb ground pork
- Step 5
Push the pork to one side and add the ginger, garlic and scallion whites to the cleared space. Stir them constantly for 45 seconds, until fragrant, then mix them through the pork.
1 min
- 3 tbsp fresh ginger
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1/2 scallions
- Step 6
Return the green beans to the pan, give the sauce a quick stir and pour it in. Toss everything for 1 to 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the pork and beans in a glaze. Turn off the heat, stir in the sesame oil and taste for salt.
2 min
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- Step 7
Spoon the rice into bowls, pile the pork and green beans on top and scatter with the scallion greens.
- 1/2 scallions
