SERVES 2 | PREP 5 mins | COOK 10 mins
A brilliantly simple and speedy lunch or supper dish. If you aren’t keen on pork, use minced turkey or chicken instead.
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 175g green beans, trimmed and halved if large
- 250g lean minced pork (5% fat)
- 6 spring onions, trimmed and cut into 1cm slices
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 red chilli, finely sliced, to serve (optional)
COOK’S TIPS
If you don’t have any hoisin sauce, try plum, teriyaki or oyster sauce instead. The calories will vary a little. Without the hoisin sauce, the recipe contains 248cals and 28g protein per serving.
- 1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok, add the beans and stir-fry over a high heat for 2 minutes, or until beginning to soften, stirring regularly.
- 2. Add the pork and cook for 4 minutes, breaking up the mince as it cooks, or until the beans are lightly toasted in places and the pork is browning.
- 3. Scatter over the spring onions and cook for 1 minute more, stirring.
- 4. Spoon the hoisin sauce and 5 tablespoons water into the pan, and cook for 2 minutes, or until the sauce looks rich and glossy and lightly coats the pork, stirring constantly.
- 5. Sprinkle with chilli, if using, and serve as a quick lunch with ribbons of cooked cabbage or leafy greens. Or make more of a meal with cauli-rice (see page 208) or a side of stir-fried veg (see page 198).
