Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Long beans
• 0.5 lb Ground pork
• 0.25 cup Pickled mustard greens
• 4 Dried chiles
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
• 1 tsp Dark soy sauce
• 0.5 tsp Sugar
• 3 tbsp Peanut oil

Steps

1. Cut the long beans into 2-inch lengths. Dry-fry them in a hot wok with no oil 5 minutes until blistered and wrinkled; remove. This step gives them their smoky chew.
2. Brown the pork with the pickled greens, garlic, and chiles until crisp at the edges.
3. Return the beans with both soy sauces, the sugar, and a splash of water. Toss 3 minutes until the beans drink up the sauce.
4. Serve over rice. Salty, funky, a little spicy — the pickled greens do as much work as the pork.
