Ingredients

  • 2 cups of instant brown rice, dry
  • 3 tbsp lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp sherry wine
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, divided into 1/2 tbsp each
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 pkg Let’s Blend Classic mushrooms
  • 1 lb green beans, ends trimmed
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 1 tsp chili garlic paste or to taste*
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper or to taste*
  • 3 green onions, diced

Instructions

  • Prepare the instant brown rice according to package directions (you can continue with the rest of the recipe while rice is cooking). When done, set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, cornstarch, and sherry wine. Set aside.
  • Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground pork and Let’s Blend mushrooms. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, until pork is cooked through (there should be no pink). Use a slotted spoon to remove pork and mushroom blend and set aside in a large bowl for now.
  • Leave any of the drippings from the pork in the skillet, and return to medium heat. If the pan looks too dry, add the other 1/2 tbsp of olive oil. Add the green beans and cook for approximately 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper and cook for another 4 minutes, until all vegetables are starting to get crisp-tender.
  • Add garlic, ginger, chili paste, and crushed red pepper and cook for another minute.
  • Add pork/mushroom mixture back to the pan. Stir in the soy sauce mixture and green onions. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, until everything is well heated and combined. Serve over rice.

Notes

Notes:
*You can adjust the amount of chili garlic paste and crushed red pepper according to your spice preference. As written is a fairly mild version with a little bit of heat.
