Secondly I put the small pieces of pork mixed with beans into a pan and make them put them into the hot oil one or 2 minutes and then I put this out of pot and then I put a little oil into pan and put the green beans into pan again and then I stir them for 10 to 15 minutes which can make green beans lost water.  And finally I will put pork and vegetables into pan together with green beans and stir them for 2 or 3 minutes that’s the steps for this dish.

I love green beans mixed with pork and vegetables.
First, I cut both the pork and the green beans into small pieces (of the same size)

Secondly I put the pork in a frying pan and stir for 2 or minutes. After that I take out the pork/I let it rest while I fry the beans for 10 to 15 minutes. remember to put some oil in the frying pan before this.

I keep them in the frying pan until the water evaporates / until they are totally dry.  And finally I will add the pork pieces and the salted vegetables in the pan and stir (together with the green beans) for 2 to 3 minutes.
Those are the steps to make this dish. That is my recipe.
