Instructions
Heat a non-stick pan and spread the pork (see notes).
Add the garlic, pepper, bay leaves and oregano.
Cook over high heat, stirring, until the ground pork has lost its raw appearance.
Pour in the vinegar and soy sauce, and stir.
Cook, uncovered, until almost dry, about seven minutes.
Stir in the green beans.
Drizzle two tablespoons of water around the edges of the meat and vegetables.
Cover the pan and cook for about two minutes or just until the green beans are done but still lightly crisp.
Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed, before serving with rice.
Notes
To prevent the meat from sticking if using a regular pan, heat the pan first, coat lightly with oil, heat the oil then spread the ground pork.
