Ingredients

  • 1 lb 90% lean ground pork
  • 12 oz green beans, trimmed and halved (340 grams)
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped and divided
  • 1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil

Miso Sauce

  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Add all sauce ingredients except cornstarch and water to a jar and shake until combined. Whisk cornstarch into 2 tbsp of water, then add to jar with other sauce ingredients and shake again. Set aside.
  • Heat half of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once the oil is shimmery and hot, add green beans, tossing to coat in the oil. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes until the green beans have turned bright green and have some blister marks. Remove the green beans from the hot skillet and set aside.
  • Return skillet to heat and lower to medium-high heat. Add remaining oil to the skillet. Once hot and shimmery, add ground pork, breaking apart with a spatula. Continue to cook and break the pork apart until very little pink remains in the pork.
  • Add the sauce to the pork, allowing it to come to a boil and stirring it in to coat the pork evenly. Add 3/4 of the green onions, stirring to distribute and continuing to cook until the pork is cooked through.
  • Serve with remaining green onions over a bed of rice, if desired (not included in nutrition info).
