Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
Zest, then juice lime. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Peel, then mince or grate ginger. Remove outer layer of lemongrass. Carefully smash lemongrass with the back of a wooden spoon to bruise. Finely chop lemongrass. Roughly chop cilantro. Pick mint leaves from stems, then roughly chop. Halve cucumbers lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half moons. Trim, then halve green beans. Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
Combine lime zest, lime juice, soy sauce mirin blend, ginger, garlic and 1 tbsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then lemongrass and pork. Cook, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Remove pan from heat, then add larb sauce. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
While pork cooks, add 4 cups water and 1 tsp salt to a medium pot. (NOTE: Use same for 4 ppl.) Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add green beans to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 1-2 min. Drain green beans, then add to pork mixture. Stir to combine.
