Spicy Green Beans and Pork, Asian Style Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Spicy Green Beans and Pork, Asian Style Recipe). My favorite side dish to order in Chinese restaurants. A chef gave me the ingredients and the tip of blistering the green beans. After some trial and error, I came up with this. My family and friends now demand that it be on the menu for gatherings - even if it doesn't go with the course! Can be made in advance. The amount of heat is determined by the amount of chili garlic sauce used.
