When I was living in Bangkok I ate this meal once a day from street carts for less than a few dollars. Although not always with an egg. Most the time the eggs are fried ahead and then sit, they go kinda hard and its just not really my thing to eat eggs that way, I prefer fresh cooked with an oozy centre. And its the better way to enjoy the meal, Now I make it atleast once a week, I would prefer to still eat it everyday.

I thought it was about time I shared it on the blog because it’s the dish I cook the most and you deserve some of it in your life!

Stir Fried Green Beans and Pork on rice with a fried egg

This is probably my favourite recipe ever to make because:

  1. You only need 9 ingredients to make it, some of which you should already have
  2. Even though there’s minimal ingredients its packed full of FLAVOUR. Salty, spicy, garlicy!
  3. Super quick to not only prep but cook, it’s like 20 minutes from start to finish. The longest and hardest part of this recipe (other than cooking rice) is topping/tailing and cutting the green beans. Bunch a few together and cut at the same time
  4. Super nutritious. Lean meat and veggies, serve with some rice and you have a perfect meal that covers all micro and macro needs
  5. The pork sucks up all that flavour and becomes crispy little bites of pure deliciousness. The kind that actually makes you salivate

Serving an egg on of stir fried green beans and pork is more of a Thai thing but adding an egg to anything makes it better and when you crack the yolk into the stir fry is coats the pork and beans and becomes like a sauce and its just so damn rich and flavourful.

This seasoning in this recipe can be pretty flexible. Sometimes if i’m out of soy I will use oyster or fish sauce. Just make sure you use chilli, garlic, ginger and some kind of salty rich umami flavoured sauce.

Only one major rule about this dish and its use MUST CHARR THE BEANS. It adds so much flavour to the dish. To charr the beans heat a skillet up add oil and heat until smoking, add the beans and spread into an even layer and let cook for a few minutes each side.
