Step 1
Trim the ends off the 1 pound green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Mince the 3 garlic cloves and thinly slice the 1 red chili.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the green beans and stir-fry until they are bright green and blistered in spots, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the 0.5 pound ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and sliced chili to the pork. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Return the green beans to the skillet. Add the 2 tablespoons soy sauce and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the beans are coated and heated through.
Step 6
Sprinkle with the 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and serve hot.
