Prior to using the string beans, wash them first under running water. Remove both ends of the green beans by either cutting them using a knife or snapping them off. Cut into bite sizes. Next chop the onion into thin and small slices then mince the garlic.

In a medium frying pan, heat oil under low to medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic then throw in the ground pork. Let it simmer for at least 2 minutes and stir fry. Do not overcook the meat or the pork will become dry. Cook it just until it changes color.
