Szechuan Green Beans With Ground Pork

Recipe #298695 | 25 min | SERVES 8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Golden Sunflower

This is a bit spicy so you may want to decrease the pepper flakes and add more at the end for taste. I made this for a pot-luck Chinese dinner that is why the serving size is for 8. Can be cut in half. Delicious over Chinese white rice.

    Absolutely easy and delicious! This was so easy to make and so good. I made a double batch as I had over 2 lbs of ground pork. I used frozen green beans as that is what I had on hand but I am sure fresh is better. I used a tad less red pepper flakes and we still got good heat. I served it over white basmati rice. Thanks for sharing.
