Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add pork cubes and brown on all sides without stirring constantly, 5 minutes total. Work in batches if needed.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds only.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and 0.5 cup water. Scrape up browned bits and stir well.

  5. Step 5

    Simmer uncovered for 8 minutes until pork is tender and sauce darkens. Stir once halfway through.

  6. Step 6

    Add green beans and cabbage, stir, and cook 2 more minutes until greens soften slightly.

  7. Step 7

    Taste and adjust salt or vinegar. Serve hot over rice with extra vinegar on the side for dipping.
