Notes
- Choose young and fresh french beans as they are more tender and less fibrous.
- To make sure the french beans used are fresh, try breaking the French bean and it should snap. If it bends limply like a rubber band, then it isn't fresh.
- Make sure that the french beans are thoroughly cooked through. Otherwise the flavour will not get into the beans.
- Just use a little cornflour to marinate the pork as it will cause the minced meat to stick to together while frying. For this dish we want the meat be separated into small pieces so they will be randomly mixed in between the French beans.
