Thai Style Pork Rice Bowl

Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Halve the red chilli lengthways, deseed and finely chop.
Trim and thinly slice the spring onion. Trim the green beans and chop into thirds.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.
Once hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until tender, about 5-6 mins. TIP: Add a splash of water and cover to steam if needed.
When cooked, transfer to a plate.

Keep the pan on high heat and add another drizzle of oil if the pan is dry.
Add the pork mince and stir-fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Add the shallot, garlic, spring onion and as much chilli as you'd like (add less if you don't like heat). Cook until the veg is softened, another 2-3 mins.

Return the green beans to the pan.
Add the ketjap manis and soy sauce, then stir everything together until piping hot.
Remove from the heat. Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it.
