Sichuan Green Beans with Pork

Sichuan Green Beans with Pork
Serves 4-6

1.25 lbs ground pork
2 lbs green beans, cut into 1-1.5" sections
2 shallot, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbs minced garlic
3 Tbs chile bean sauce
3 Tbs soy sauce
3 Tbs water or stock
1 tsp sichuan peppercorns, ground
4oz mushrooms, chopped
3 scallions, chopped

Stir-fry the green beans on high heat until cooked most of the way - try to get some a little burnt. Remove.
Add the onion, garlic, ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add pork and brown. Once the pork is ground, add the mushrooms, sauce ingredients, and green beans.
Cook 5-10 minutes, until green beans are just a little limp and everything is well coated. Finish with scallions.
