Ingredients

1.5 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon olive oil
0.5 yellow onion (diced)
3 clove garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
16 ounce green beans
0.25 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoon water
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
2 cup white rice (uncooked)

Instructions

Cook the white rice according to package directions, typically by combining 2 cups white rice with 4 cups water in a saucepan, bringing to a boil, then reducing heat, covering, and simmering for about 15 minutes, until water is absorbed. Set aside.
While rice is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 pounds ground pork and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add 0.5 each diced yellow onion, 3 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the onion softens and becomes fragrant.
Stir in 16 ounces frozen green beans. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the pork and green beans in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients, about 1-2 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Serve the Skillet Pork & Green Bean Stir-fry immediately over the cooked white rice.
