- 1 stalk green onion chopped, optionnal

Instructions
Prep the Green Beans
- Cut green beans into shorter pieces.
- Add green beans in a large pot of water. Add a pinch of salt and a little oil (this will help the green beans stay vibrant green).
- Bring the water to a boil and blench the green beans for 3–4 minutes.
- Drain and set aside.
Cook the Pork
- Heat oil in a wok or deep pan over medium heat.
- Add ground pork.
- Add Shaoxing wine and coconut aminos on to the pork.
- Mix the seasoning in by stirring and break apart the pork. Cook until mostly done.
Stir Fry
- Add green beans to the pan along with salt.
- Add in garlic and green onion (if using) and stir fry for 4–5 minutes.
- Pour in broth or hot water and bring it to a boil.
- Cover and cook on medium-high heat for 4 -5 minute until the liquid reduce and the green beans become tender.
- Taste and adjust salt and seasoning if needed.
Notes
- Coconut aminos are slightly sweeter than soy sauce—adjust salt accordingly
- Blanching helps keep the green beans bright green and speeds up cooking
- Variations to Try: Add some sliced mushrooms, thinly sliced carrots, and/or red peppers to this stir fry to make it even more exciting!
