How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh long beans
- You should choose long beans that have slender and long stems because this type will be sweeter and crunchier than short and thick long beans.
- Fresh long beans will have a bright green skin, the stems are relatively crunchy, easily broken when bent, and feel quite firm when pressed with your hand.
- You should avoid buying long beans that feel soft and spongy when pressed, as these are overripe and will not taste sweet or good when eaten.
- Do not buy broken long beans or those that are overly large, as these may have been treated with pesticides extensively.
How to choose fresh pork
- For stir-fried dishes, you should choose pork belly as it will be richer and more delicious when stir-fried.
- Fresh pork will have a pinkish-red color, bright meat color, and the fat layer will be opaque white.
- When you touch the pork, if it is fresh, you will feel the meat’s elasticity, not sticky or slimy, as it has a dry membrane covering the meat.
- Do not buy pieces of meat with uneven colors or showing bruises, as this may be meat taken from sick pigs.
- Avoid choosing pork that has a strange smell or feels slimy when touched, as this indicates the meat has gone bad and is no longer usable.

Prepare the Pork
To eliminate the unpleasant smell of the pork, wash it with a bit of white wine and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then let it drain. After that, slice the pork into thin, bite-sized pieces.
Tips to Eliminate the Smell of Pork:
- Method 1: Wash the pork briefly, and to remove the unpleasant smell, rub the meat with salt or lemon juice for about 3 – 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water, cut into small pieces, and it is ready for cooking.
- Method 2: You can also blanch the pork briefly in boiling water for about 3 minutes, then remove it, rinse with water, and cut into small pieces.
- Method 3: To eliminate the smell of the meat, you can use a little vinegar to wash the pork, then rinse several times with water before cooking.

Prepare the other ingredients
After purchasing the long beans, remove the heads and tails of the beans. Cut them into pieces about 2 finger lengths, then soak the long beans in diluted salt water for about 5 minutes, rinse several times with clean water, and let them drain.
Peel off the layers of dirt from the green onions and discard any damaged leaves, cut off the roots, and wash them clean. Separate the green onion tops from the white parts.
Put the white parts of the green onions along with 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper in a mortar and pound until finely crushed. For the green onion tops, cut them into pieces about 1 – 2 finger lengths.

Stir-fried green beans with pork
Add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan, heat over medium heat for about 3 minutes until the oil is slightly bubbling, then add the sliced pork and stir well. When the pork is browned, add the smashed garlic and pepper and stir evenly.
Next, season with a mixture of spices including: 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, and a little salt, then continue to stir-fry to ensure the pork absorbs the spices evenly.
After stir-frying the pork for 5 minutes over medium heat, add the green beans. Stir evenly for another 5 minutes until the green beans are cooked.
