Ingredients
4 servings
- 11/2 cup Slow-Cooker Chipotle-Orange Pork juices
- 11/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 12 Tbsp. soy sauce or tamari
- 11 Tbsp. finely grated fresh ginger (from one 2" piece)
- 11/4 cup vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil
- 14 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 12 cups leftover shredded Slow-Cooker Chipotle-Orange Pork
- 11 lb. green beans, trimmed, halved
- 11 tsp. kosher salt, divided
- 11/2 head of Napa cabbage
- 1sliced about 1" thick
Instructions
Stir pork juices, vinegar, soy sauce, and ginger in a small bowl or measuring cup; set aside.
Heat oil in a large (12") high-sided skillet over medium-high. Fry garlic, stirring often, until golden brown and crisp, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
Carefully scatter pork in an even layer in hot oil and cook, undisturbed, until deeply browned and beginning to char on underside, 4, 5 minutes. Stir pork, then push over to one side of skillet. Spread green beans in empty side of skillet, season with 1/2 tsp. salt, and continue to cook, undisturbed, 1 minute. Stir to combine with pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until green beans are lightly charred and pork is extra crispy, 3, 4 minutes. Add cabbage and season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Pour reserved pork juice mixture over and stir to combine. Remove from heat and top with reserved fried garlic.
