Ingredients  

  • 2 tbsp Sweet chili sauce, low-sodium 1.2oz
  • 2 tsp Soy sauce, low-sodium (or fish sauce) 0.3oz
  • ½ small Lemon, juiced 1oz
  • cups Napa cabbage, shredded 6.2oz
  • 1 cup Carrot, shredded 3.9oz
  • ½ cup Fresh mint, torn 1.6oz
  • 2 medium Zucchini, shredded 13.8oz
  • 2 tsp Extra virgin olive oil 0.3oz
  • 3 tsp Ginger, minced 0.3oz
  • 6 oz Ground pork, lean, raw 6oz
  • 2 cups Green beans, trimmed, cut into bite-sized pieces 7.1oz

Steps 

  1. Combine sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and lemon juice in a large bowl. Remove 1 tablespoon of the sauce mixture to a small dish or cup.
  2. Add the cabbage, carrots, and mint to the large bowl.
  3. Wrap shredded zucchini in a clean dish towel and gently squeeze to remove the excess moisture. Add the zucchini to the large bowl. Toss gently to combine with other vegetables.
  4. Heat a wok or large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add olive oil, ginger and ground pork, cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring until meat is cooked. Add the reserved chilli sauce mixture to the pan. Bring to simmer. Add the green beans, cook for 2 minutes or until they begin to soften.
  5. Spoon the vegetables from the large bowl onto two serving plates. Top with pork and green bean mixture and enjoy!
