Steps （5 steps）
Wash green beans, snap off ends and remove strings, cut into 1cm pieces. Mix pork with 1 tbsp cooking wine and some soy sauce, marinate 5 minutes.
Heat wok over medium heat, add 2 tbsp oil. When hot, stir-fry marinated pork until color changes, about 2 minutes; remove and set aside.
Add 1 tbsp oil to wok, turn to high heat, sizzle garlic 10 seconds, then add green beans. Stir-fry quickly until skins wrinkle and they darken, about 4 minutes; splash water if needed.
Return pork to wok, add olive vegetable, 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1/2 tsp sugar. Stir-fry over medium heat about 1 minute to blend flavors.
Taste and add a little salt if needed; olive vegetable and soy sauce are already salty. Toss in chopped green onions, stir briefly and serve.
Tips
Green beans must be thoroughly cooked to avoid digestive discomfort. Olive vegetable is already salty so adjust salt carefully. Add dried chili for heat if desired.
