As a note, having quality green beans makes a big difference in this recipe. If the green beans don't look very good when you are out shopping I would wait for another opportunity to make this meal.

Loraine and I aren't really into hot (spicy) foods. If you are, increase the amount of ginger and chili sauce.

The pork and green beans could be served over noodles or rice, we didn't as we thought there was more than enough food with the basic meal.
