- 1/4 cup chicken stock

- 2 tbsp coconut aminos (or tamari/soy sauce)
- 2 tbsp honey (or 2 medjool dates)
- 1 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
- 3/4 lbs green beans

- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp finely diced ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground szechuan peppercorns

Instructions
- In a bowl whisk together the chicken, balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos and honey.
- Heat sesame oil on high heat in a large skillet or wok. Once hot add in the green beans and cook for 4-5 minutes until the beans have begun to soften and slightly char. Remove the green beans from the wok and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium high and add the ground pork to the wok. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat up into a fine crumbly texture.
- After 5 minutes the meat should be cooked through and slightly browned. Add in the garlic, ginger and ground Szechuan peppercorns and leave to cook for 1 minute.
- After 1 minute add in the sauce and green beans and leave to cook for another 3 minutes.
- Stir in the white sesame seeds and optional dried chili peppers and serve.
