Instructions

• Trim the ends off the green beans and cut them into 2‑inch pieces.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over medium‑high heat until shimmering and deep‑fry the green beans until they turn wrinkled and lightly browned, about 4–5 minutes; remove and drain on paper towels.
• Wipe out the wok, add a splash of oil and stir‑fry the garlic, ginger, and dried chilies until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the sliced pork and stir‑fry until it is cooked through and lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, chicken bouillon powder, Shaoxing cooking wine, and oyster sauce, mixing well to coat the pork.
• Return the fried green beans to the wok and toss everything together over high heat for another minute to combine the flavors.
• Drizzle the sesame oil and chili oil over the dish, give a final quick toss, and serve immediately.
