This is a very common dish cooked in the Philippines and other asian countries. The great thing about this dish is that it is very simple to cook, quick and inexpensive to make. This dish goes really well with your favourite rice. I like to use Jasmine rice with this, but I have also tried basmati rice and even red, brown or black rice. Try it out, I’m sure you will love it!
Stir Fry String Beans with Pork Belly
Delicious, quick and easy to make stir fry string beans with pork belly
Ingredients
- 200 grams pork belly
- 1 large red onion
- 1 bulb of garlic use less according to taste if desired
- 3 medium sized red bell pepper
- 3 cups string beans
- 4 tbsp coconut aminos organic if possible
- 4 tbsp avocado oil cold/expeller pressed
- 1 tsp bouillon powder
- 2 tsp sea salt (Celtic is preferred) put more or less to taste
Instructions
- Coarsely chop up the onions, garlic and red bell pepper
- Cut the ends off the string beans and cut into 2 inch pieces
- Slice up the pork belly into small chunks
- Turn on the hob to full heat and add your oil to your pan, skillet or wok
- Immediately add the pork slices while the oil is still warming up
- Fry the pork until a lovely golden brown colour
- Move the pork to the side, and add garlic, onions
- Stir the mixture for a couple of minutes, then add the red bell pepper
- Stir again for a couple of minutes, then add the string beans
- Add the bouillon and coconut aminos, stir for a few more minutes
- Add salt to taste
Notes
- If using table salt, the amount to use will be less than 2 tsps
- if you don’t have coconut aminos, you can use soy sauce instead (but use less as it’s more salty)
- you can use chicken or pork stock cubes in place of the bouillon powder
- avocado oil or olive oil are preferred, but if you don’t have these you can use your preferred oil
- if using olive oil, be careful not to heat it too high as the oil will degrade if it reaches its smoke point
