Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 whole large onion chopped
- 1 knob (1-inch piece) fresh ginger peeled, sliced thin
- 1½ cups ground pork
- 1 Tablespoon patis (fish sauce)
- 1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 500 grams green beans edges trimmed, sliced in 2-inch length; about 1 1/2 cups

- 2 whole siling labuyo (bird's eye chilies) sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt

For serving
- steamed rice
Instructions
- In a large skillet, add the vegetable oil over medium high heat. Saute the garlic, onions and fresh ginger for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the ground pork and patis. Pour the broth. Blend well.
- When pork turns from pink to brown in about 5 minutes, add the green beans. Mix well.
- Pour the coconut milk and add the bird's eye chilies.
- Lower heat to a simmer so the coconut milk does not curdle in too high heat.
- Season with salt and black pepper powder. Blend ingredients well. Cover and continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes more. Serve warm with boiled rice.
- COOK'S COMMENTS: If desired, replace ground meat with shrimps. If a completely meatless meal is preferred, omit the ground pork and patis (fish sauce). If you prefer this dish without the fiery spice, omit the bird's eye chilies.
