Serves :1

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 oz. of lean Pork
• 1 cup of Green Beans, snapped in half (use as much veggies as you want or replace Green beans with Kale)
• 1 garlic clove, chopped
• 1/2 inch of peeled and chopped ginger
• Fish sauce (to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add the chopped garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the lean pork to the skillet and cook until it’s no longer pink, and the edges are browned.
4. Toss in the green beans (or kale) and stir-fry with the pork until they are tender-crisp. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness for the vegetables.
5. Season the stir-fry with fish sauce to taste. Start with a small amount and add more if needed. The fish sauce will add a savory and umami flavor to the dish.
6. Continue stir-frying for another minute or so, ensuring the flavors are well combined.
7. Once the pork and vegetables are cooked to your liking and everything is well-coated with the fish sauce, turn off the heat.
8. Serve the stir-fry over steamed rice or noodles, if desired, and enjoy! You can garnish it with chopped green onions or cilantro for added freshness and color.
