Thai Pork Beans and Basil (Pad Kra Pow)
Recipe by Ruth Reichl, Photo from The Woks of Life
Ingredients:
1 lb ground pork
1/2 - 3/4 lb green beans (cut into small, 1/2-inch pieces)
1 cup (or more) densely packed basil leaves
4 large cloves garlic, smashed or minced
1 tbsp minced Thai chile (or jalapeño, to taste)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Sauce: 3 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar.
Instructions:
Prepare: Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. In another dish, combine the garlic and chiles.
Fry Pork: Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the pork and stir-fry until it loses its color and separates into small, crispy bits.
Add Veggies & Sauce: Add the garlic and chiles to the pork and cook until fragrant. Add the green beans and stir-fry until they are tender-crisp. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir until everything is well coated.
Finish: Turn off the heat, stir in the basil, and toss until just wilted. Serve immediately.
Notes:
Reichl notes that you "can't have too much basil" in this dish.
