How to make Dry-Fried Green Beans with Minced Pork (Gan Bian Si Ji Dou)
- In a bowl, combine ground pork with 1 tsp Shaoxing wine and 1 tsp light soy sauce. Mix well and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until smoking. Add the green beans and dry-fry, stirring occasionally, until the beans are blistered, slightly wrinkled, and tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the beans from the wok and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the marinated ground pork and stir-fry, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through and browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the minced garlic, minced ginger, dried red chilies, and Sichuan peppercorns to the wok. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Return the green beans and pork to the wok. Add the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. If using, add the chopped preserved mustard greens. Toss everything together to combine well, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to heat through and allow flavors to meld.
- Serve immediately with steamed rice.
