This is a recipe I grew up on. My dad, who was in the Air Force, had a few tours of duty in Thailand and picked up this dish there.
2 tbsp vegetable oil (or infused Wok Oil)
8 cloves garlic, chopped
½ pound pork loin, cut into thin medallions
½ pound raw shrimp, shelled & deveined
1 pound long beans (AKA raw green beans, whole)
3 tbsp fish sauce (nam pla)
2 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp ground black pepper
In a wok, heat oil over very high heat. Add garlic and quickly stir-fry until light brown. Immediately add the pork and toss with garlic until pork is light brown. Add the shrimp and continue stir-frying for about one minute. Add the beans and cook for at least 2 minutes (they will be very crispy - I typically cook until I start to get a bit of a wilt to the beans). Stir in the fish sauce, sugar and black pepper. Toss everything together and serve. I serve with some steamed Jasmine rice (an aromatic rice that I also grew up on. Dad had it in Thailand and won’t eat any other kind with Thai food).
Enjoy!
