Forget takeout: The path to sweet-spicy-savory dinner bliss is as simple as breaking out a frying pan. In this recipe, ground pork and green beans are coated in a tantalizingly tangy, spicy, sweet, and savory sauce of hoisin, soy, lime juice, and sriracha. Everything comes together over a bed of steamy rice and is topped with a sprinkle of peanuts for crunch—in just 15 minutes, from start to finish. You’re not dreaming—this is dinner!

• Wash and dry all produce. • Trim green beans if necessary, then halve crosswise. (TIP: To do this quickly, line up several beans and slice at once.) Quarter lime. • In a small bowl, whisk together ¾ cup cold water (1¼ cups for 4 servings) and cornstarch until dissolved. Whisk in hoisin, soy sauce, a big squeeze of lime juice to taste, and as much sriracha as you like.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium, preferably nonstick, pan (use a large pan for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add pork* and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 3-5 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in step 4).

• Meanwhile, place green beans in a medium microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap; microwave until green beans are slightly tender, 1-2 minutes. Set aside. • Partially open top of rice package; microwave for 90 seconds.

• Carefully drain green beans, then add to pan with pork. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until pork is cooked through and beans are just tender, 2-3 minutes. • Pour in sauce; bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Reduce to a low simmer and cook until thickened, 2-3 minutes more. Turn off heat. • Divide rice between bowls and top with stir-fry. Sprinkle with peanuts and serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
I liked how easy and quick it was, and it tasted great. My reason for docking a star is that the portion of rice was too small for 2 people to have a normal-sized dinner portion.
I love this recipe, but I think it would be better with broccoli, carrots, bok choy, or zucchini and mushrooms. I love green beans, but I never feel like they go well with Asian cuisine.
Delicious! Everyone loved it. This is one of the more memorable meals we've gotten and we hope it comes available again.
Amount of pork and green beans was less than expected.
