Instructions

1. Trim the green beans and cut them into 2-inch lengths; slice the green onions, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and rinse the brown rice.
2. Combine the rice with water according to its package directions. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook until tender, about 35–40 minutes; rest covered for 5 minutes.
3. While the rice cooks, whisk the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, 1/4 cup water, sesame oil, and optional red pepper flakes until smooth.
4. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the neutral oil and green beans, then stir-fry until bright green and blistered but still crisp-tender, 5–6 minutes; transfer to a plate.
5. Add the pork to the hot pan and stir-fry, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and it reaches 160°F, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and white parts of the green onions; cook for 30 seconds.
6. Return the beans to the pan, stir the sauce again, and pour it in. Toss for 1–2 minutes, until glossy and lightly thickened.
7. Fluff the brown rice, divide it between two bowls, and top with the pork and green-bean stir-fry; finish with the green onion tops.
