Ingredients

• pickled long beans (suan dou jiao)

• garlic
• scallion

Instructions

1. Rinse pickled beans under cold water for 10 seconds, then squeeze gently to remove excess moisture. Chop into 1 cm pieces.
2. Heat wok over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates instantly. Add 15 ml (1 tbsp) neutral oil.
3. Add pork mince and stir-fry until no pink remains and edges begin to crisp, ~2 minutes. Break up clumps with spatula.
4. Push meat to side. Add garlic and white parts of scallion to hot oil; stir 15 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add pickled beans. Stir-fry 3 minutes until beans darken slightly and release tangy aroma. Drizzle light soy sauce evenly over surface.
